Hi,
My two year old was behind on shots and got 3 shots in his thighs monday. On one leg he developed a rash or red mark at the site of the shot that covers most of the front of his thigh. It is also swollen. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

 Hello,
A rash is considered a non-serious side effect and usually resolves on its own. Swelling at the site is also quite common. Using something cool on it like can of cold soda, wrapped lightly can help the swelling and discomfort. If the effects do not subside in a few days you should see the doctor.
Best wishes.
