BCG injected place having pus.

Question

Asked for Female, 5 Years

My baby is 5 and half months. Today I saw a little pus in the place where BCG Injection was given to him. Baby is active and normal. I also removed pus using cotton, that time baby was crying a little. My worry is whether I shud consult doctor or wait since I do not see pus after 3-4 hours of removal of it or is it ok to wait for one day to observe. Also why my baby is having so much issue on that BCG Injected place. What is the reason because I haven't seen to other kids whom I know. Kindly provide answer . thank you

It is normal for a baby to develop a boil at BCG injection site. This burst open by 4 to 5 month of age and heals itself leaving behind a scar. As such nothing has to be done. Some times antibiotics may be required, get the wound evaluated by a pediatrician.
