12 week Jabs - Lump?

3 replies

My son had his 12 week jabs on Monday and I've noticed today a lump in one of his thighs where he was injected. Not sure if I'm being paranoid (I am a first time Mum, so this is entirely possible!) or if this is normal?

My little girl got the same thing when she was 18 months with a jag, i was so worried took her to the doctors who said its quite normal like a blood clot under the skin harmless and it was gone within 8 weeks or so. I massaged it a bit to help break it up. Take him to be checked to put your mind at ease but im sure he will just be fine.

Utterly, utterly normal. It will go down. As long as it's not getting bigger, angrier, redder etc, it's normal. DD's always took a couple of weeks to go completely. Little hard lumps under the skin, wee bit sore at first.

The lump is quite big, although its not red and it doesn't seem to be sore as my son isn't reacting at all when I touch it. Thanks for the advice I will keep an eye on it and massage it every day. Have a good evening all!
