A member asked:
I received the tdap booster 9 days ago. i developed a swollen tender lymph node in my neck. it's still swollen, firm, but not tender. what can i do?

Watch and wait: Most likely the lymph node is swollen from the injections, but it should be going down in a few days. Try using some tylenol (acetaminophen) and ibuprofen, ice over the lymph node if there is pain. If it continues, you should talk with your doctor.
