Suggest Treatment For Swelling Below The Shoulder After Vaccination

I am 14 years old, I am 5'5 ft, i am 108 pounds.

I took a shot and the my arm, below the shoulder got swollen, and a little red. It is kind of heated up, I forgot the name of the vaccination, but it has something to do with the brain, I had to take it in order to finish my papers to give it to my new school. Please help, my doctor is closed for the day, but it doesn't hurt to the limit that I have to get to a emergency room.



Thanks

some erythema and a little (bearable) pain can be considered a normal effect of a vaccination as long as it is short lived (around 24 hohrs).so ideally you just need to watch for it, and apparently it seems it will subside quickly
