Suggest Remedy For A Lump At Tetanus Injection Site
I had a tetanus shot a week ago. A couple days after I noticed a round lump (like a small marble or gumball) above my left clavicle (the side where I received my tetanus shot). I m not sure if it is an englarged lymph node? At first it was tender but now it is painless. I felt fatigued after getting the vaccination.

Hello,
This is an uncommon side effect. Since the lump was painful, it's likely of inflammatory nature. It could be a lymph node. It could also be a cyst. If it remains unchanged or gets bigger after a month or so, I would suggest doing an ultrasound scan of the area.
Kind regards!
