Brief Answer:
Painless DPT vaccine us available

Detailed Answer:
Hi... Greetings from XXXXXXX

For pain relief give Paracetamol. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol.

Precautions -
1. Cold fomentation.
2. Paracetamol for pain relief.

Painless DPT vaccine is available in market and in XXXXXXX

Hi...I understand your concern. The DPT induced pain will be there for 3-4 days and rarely for another 1 day.

Even for pain you can use the same dose of paracetamol as I have suggested.
