What Causes Pain In The Groin Area After Receiving A Tetanus Shot?
got a tetanus shot on right side hip yesterday. Today i can feel pain which is ok. But i can also feel pain in the groin region, the exact spot is where the inguinal hernia is present. This pain was previously not there. Is it temporary or a muscle swelling because of tetanus shot ? I pains only if i try to press it. I can walk comfortably though.

Hello,
Pain and swelling are common side effects of a tetanus shot. I recommend using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen three times a day.
I also recommend using cool compresses in the area. The symptoms will go away in a few days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
