A member asked:
Is it normal for a lymph node to swell after a flu shot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mild swelling: Certainly a mild amount of swelling at the site of injection as well as at the nearest lymph node can happen due to your immune response. Persistent swelling should be checked by your physician
