My daughter just had her 2nd dose of vaccines 2 days ago on her 4 month visit. i noticed today that it feels hard. should i take her to her pedia?

No need: this happens sometimes. Trying gently massaging the area and using a warm compress a few times a day for a day or so. It is most likely just a local reaction that is normal as the body is doing its job to make antibodies to the vaccine. A small amount of fluid collects in the muscle for a few days. It should go away soon.

How often should we get a new toothbrush for our six year old? Our dentist always gives us a new one at each visit every six months, but our daughter seems to be really rough on them. I think it might be because she brushes much harder than she needs to.
