Swelling in the area where the vaccination was given may be left alone if it is not progressively worse. If the swelling is serious, it can be relieved by applying cold compresses and then hot compresses or local incision and drainage surgery.
1. Apply cold compresses and then hot compresses. If the inoculation site redness and swelling is small, mild, you can use ice packs on the local cold compresses to promote capillary contraction, and then 24 hours later hot compresses to promote blood circulation, thus promoting the skin swelling. At the same time, patients should pay attention to keep the inoculation site clean and dry, avoiding water.
2. Local incision and drainage surgery. If the scope of redness and swelling is large, local infection may occur, and in severe cases, pus may develop. If this happens, it is recommended that the patient go to the hospital in time, and if necessary, perform incision and drainage surgery. At the same time, oral anti-inflammatory drugs such as cephalosporins for treatment.
In short, the place where the vaccination is swollen can be first cold compresses and then hot compresses for observation, if it is ineffective or the swelling is large in scope and degree, you need to go to the hospital in a timely manner, and if necessary, need to carry out incision and drainage surgery to alleviate the symptoms.
