My son was given vaccine on his 3rd day and now he is one month old... it has been more than 25 days and now it is swelling and the area around it had been becoming red and puffy... so curious to know if this is normal, plz let me know how long will it take for it to go completely. Do we need to do anything for it ?

If it's BCG vaccine over the arms, then it's usual. No need to do anything unless it persists.
But if it's for some other vaccine in the thigh, then it might be blood clot/pus collection.
If it is pus, it has to be let out.
