Minimal swelling at the site of BCG vaccination (Left upper arm, usually) is a normal immune response. It will subside on its own within 3 to 6 months. However, if there is pain or redness or pus discharge in the area, it is safer to get a visual consultation done to rule our any infections.
Next Steps
Safer to get a consultation, either live or online.
