Immunization: This is local tissue reaction at the site of immunization. Initial 24-48 hours we suggest to put cold compress, after that warm compress, usually 12-15 minutes 4-6 times daily. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) for itching and sometimes Ibuprofen for pain. Because it is more than a week, check with your pediatrician to have a look.
