Tdap or MMR reactions?

Question

the injection site for the shot is itchy, swollen to about the size of a large strawberry, very sore to the touch, a bit red, and painful to move the arm itself. i've tried putting ice and heat on it, the pressure causes so much pain though that it doesn't do anything.. i've had a headache, exhaustion, diarrhea, stomach ache and slight fever. got the shot on tuesday, august 26th at a little before 2:30. does anyone have any suggestions to reduce the pain at all?

Answer 1

It sounds like you're just having some of the side effects of the shot.  If it doesn't go away after a week or two, I'd call your doctor just to make sure it's nothing serious.
