This can happen after any vaccination.
Cold compress can be done at site of injection.
Combiflam syrup (according to weight) can be given twice a day for 2 to 3 days.
For redness, can apply any antibacterial ointment (like T bact) based on the lesion.
Wait for a week or 10 days, it will get normal on its own.
