Give it maybe a few hours and see if it goes down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-my-flu-shot-injection-site-look-like-this#post-2371684 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 16:24:24 +0000 Cherrybee 2371684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine looked like that last time. Funnily enough, I had no reaction this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-my-flu-shot-injection-site-look-like-this#post-2371681 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 16:19:31 +0000 MrsRcCar 2371681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wouldn't hurt to give your doctor a call. Swollen and hot is never good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-my-flu-shot-injection-site-look-like-this#post-2371680 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 16:17:02 +0000 Foodnerd81 2371680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would give it a few hours. Mine was really sore this year for some reason- worse than the tdap. I don't know about the swelling though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-my-flu-shot-injection-site-look-like-this#post-2371674 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 16:09:56 +0000 ladybee 2371674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got my flu shot yesterday around 1:30pm. I'm 29 weeks pregnant so I couldn't do the mist. Last night it was sore but I had a bandaid on it. I took it off this morning and went about my business. I just noticed how red and swollen it is! Is this normal? It doesn't itch but it's pretty sore. It's also warm to the touch. </p> [attach=2199/15/nyjmsk.450x600.image.jpeg]
