Ds2 is 3 and a half and had his tetanus/Dip/polio booster on friday morning.

Yesterday his arm was red and today it is red and hard and ds2 says it is sore. Could it be infected ? Or is this a normal reaction ?
He doesn't have a temperature and is fine apart from a runny bottom (tmi ?!)

Thanks

My Dd1 had her MMR booster and tetanus/dip/polio booster about a month ago, her arm was very sore, red and hard too. it now looks like a bruise. When I phoned NHS direct, they said it was normal reaction.
