Lump on vaccination site
My 20 month old got his DTP vaccine 4 days ago, there is swelling on the left thigh vaccination site. There is no fever . What to do . Should we apply hot compress or cold compress on it? It is a little bit hurting while touching.
I need to ask few more questions before answering your query.
Early consultations can prevent complications.

This is the usual thing after vaccination. If this gets worse or swelling becomes bigger and more reddish, seek advice from a pediatrician, otherwise it will get better.
Next Steps
Can give paracetamol for pain weight based dosing 15 mg/kg orally SOS, weight of 65 kg most likely is incorrect for a 20 month old.
