Is Red Blotchy Area On Cheeks Due To Side Effects Of Tdap Vaccination?
I had a Tdap vaccination around 1030 am today and was out doing yardwork and know my face has red blotchy areas on cheeks...am i having an allergic reaction or is this normal side effect from the shot? I am only allergic to septra/bactrim type drugs....
Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction. I suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily. I also suggest using steroid cream such as betametasone cream for local application.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
