Reaction to 2 month vaccination

[Toomanytoomany]

little one just had her shots and the next day a red hard lump has appeared on her leg under where her needle was do i need to take her back to the doctors or can i fix it at home? Is it serious?

It's perfectly normal, just a bit of inflamed tissue responding to the vaccination and the needle. If it becomes very red and hot and very painful and the redness spreads, you might need to get it looked at.

One of my boys had that. I took him back only to be told it was fine!

I think it's just like the red lump or bruise you or I might get from having a shot in our arm. It might be sore, but a perfectly normal reaction. It was certainly listed as a normal reaction in the documentation I got when DD had her 2 month vaccinations a couple of weeks ago.

DD was upset for the remainder of the day, but not too badly, slept fine that night, and has been fine since. (What a relief that was - I had been worrying her reaction might be much worse than that!)
