If i just had the pneumonia vaccine, how do i reduce the redness, swelling, and pain?

Cold/ otc pain med: I'd crack up a few ice cubes in a dish cloth and put them in a zip lock bag to use as a cool compress. Replace ice as needed.A couple of ibuprofen tablets up to every 6 hours may also help. It should improve gradually over 2-3 days.
