How to relieve pain after vaccination in babies

Comforting: Hold and comfort your baby, offer breast milk or formula, or give them a pacifier to suck on to help soothe them.

Cool Compress: Apply a cool, damp washcloth to the injection site to help reduce pain and swelling. You can also use a cold pack wrapped in a towel.

Infant Pain Relievers: If your baby is experiencing significant pain or discomfort, your healthcare provider may recommend giving them infant pain relievers, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen. It is important to follow the dosing instructions carefully and to only give your baby the recommended amount of medication based on their weight and age.

Gentle Massage: Gently massage the injection site to help reduce pain and discomfort.

Movement: Moving your baby’s legs in a gentle bicycling motion can help reduce pain and discomfort.
