tdap shot reaction-swollen lymph nodes

I just got the tdap shot at my doctor's office last Thursday and my left arm is SO sore!  But what freaked me out on Saturday, is I noticed a sore marble sized lump above my left collar bone.  I checked online and found out there is a lymph node there.  Has anyone else had this reaction?  Should I call my doctor back?

  • I honestly have not felt "right" since I got the injection at the hospital before being released with DS2.  I can't seem to find any research to support anything though.  I don't know if it's just my body or what.  I mean, yes--your body is going to react sometimes to a vaccine, especially while pregnant--so that makes sense.  It certainly wouldn't hurt to call your doc.

     

  • Vaccines are supposed to cause an immune reaction!  It is normal to have some swollen hymph nodes, it means it is working.
