How Long Will The Reddish Bump From DPT Vaccine Last?
My infant is 4 months now and we noticed a bump on her left shoulder and the doctor said it is due to DPT vaccine. It has been over a month now and it is much smaller but reddish purple. Baby is not complaining. How long can we expect the lump to stay. Regards.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Sometimes a firm bump will form after BCG vaccination.
this usually subsides over a period of 3 months.
