Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am suffering from severe constant pain in my left arm due to the vaccination injections. I am not able to sleep or move my arm. I even took a painkiller and tried the heat packs but nothing has helped. I took vaccinations for Japanese encephalitis and MenB Bexsero. What to do?
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your query and understood your concern.
Is there any localized swelling, redness, or something suggestive of pus collection? There are two possibilities, this may be just vaccine-induced muscle soreness and the other is a possibility of localized infection or abscess.
Instead of Tylenol (Paracetamol), I suggest you take a tablet of Ibuprofen (painkiller) 400 mg (0.014 ounces) whenever needed up to three times a day along with some antacids like a tablet of Pantoprazole 40 mg (0.0014 ounces) before breakfast once daily. If it does not respond in a day or two or you developed an abscess or fever, then you should visit a doctor and start antibiotic therapy. Also, apply some ice to the arm.
Kindly consult a specialist, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent.
I hope this helps you.
Thanks and regards.
