No: Mild swelling and mild fever is common. Not very red or swollen. Possibly the needle punctured a blood vessel? Consult with her pediatrician or primary care dr..

Infection: A lot of times children get "lumps , bumps, knots;swelling " after their shots.These are not unusual.But, being very swollen, red and hot , needs immediate attention.Your child may possibly have an infection - cellulitis and need to be treated with antibiotics.Fever is common after shots. Take your child to her pediatrician as soon as possible.In the meantime, give her tylenol/motrin to ease pain.

Yes: Be thankful that her body recognizes an enemy when it sees one (even if only in a mirror), and is fighting hard to protect itself.
