What Causes Severe Swollen Arm After Taking Vaccinations And Elevated SGGTs Levels?

Flu vaccination followed severely swollen arm on the injection side and elevated SGGTs 2 - 3 days later. Swelling and LFTs gradually resolved and returned to normal after about 4 weeks. What happened? Should I avoid the flu vaccine? I have one lung from birth.

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
It would be good to make some tests to see if this was reaction to flu so you should see immunologsit. This is very possible allergic reaction and side effect of vaccination so it should be avoided in future or othe type of vaccination used.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
