Suggest Treatment For Soreness In The Arm
Yes it can be because of the shot
Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic.
Generally side reactions to vaccine shots can vary between days to weeks.
Instant side effects can be allergic reactions or fevers, and you are well over that period.
Intramuscular injections if mistakenly hit some nerve, usually the symptoms in such cases are seen in days which ranges from mild numbness, tingling, pain or damage to motor supply to muscle. This also seems less likely in your case.
However, if Intramuscular abcess or soft tissue inflammation is formed, it may take few days to expand and give pressure symptoms, alongwith pain and soreness which has likely happened in your case. The swelling can press on nearby nerves yo give the symptoms of nerve entrapment. Final verdict can be given in careful examination and ultrasound if needed in severe cases.
But rest assured, as most of these symptoms are reversible and settle with time. Using anti inflammatory drugs like acetaminophen or ibuprofen will help. If Temperature spikes are noted or swelling increases, antibiotics like augmentin or cephalosporins may be needed. Local massage or topical application with diclofenac emulgels may help to reduce soreness and inflammation.
Hoping you a speedy recovery. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask otherwise kindly close the discussion. Regards.
