After the COVID-19 vaccine is finished, the arm can be hot compressed. What about the swelling and pain after the third injection of COVID-19 vaccine?

After the third vaccination, COVID-19's arm was swollen and swollen.

After the third injection of COVID-19 vaccine, it is normal for the arm to become red and swollen and have a lump. There is no need to go to the hospital for medical treatment.

What should I do if it is red and painful after the third shot of vaccine in COVID-19?

The injection site is red and swollen. It may be caused by incomplete absorption of the vaccine and can be applied locally. At the same time, patients should pay attention to rest, avoid strenuous exercise, have a light diet and avoid drinking and smoking.

Can COVID-19 apply hot compress after vaccination?

After COVID-19 vaccination, you can apply hot compress on your arm. If there are no symptoms, long-term hot compress is not recommended. COVID-19 vaccine mainly produces antibodies after entering human body, which can finally immunize susceptible people. Some patients may have symptoms such as redness, pain and even fever in their arms after receiving COVID-19 vaccine, which is a problem of inflammation. But the vaccine itself is also an external stimulus, and the most common thing is that the body reacts. You can apply hot compress at this time. If there are no symptoms or only mild reactions, you can't apply hot compress.

COVID-19's Requirements for the Third Dose of Vaccine

1, not in the fever period. Patients who are in the stage of wind-cold and fever or have taken anti-inflammatory drugs recently, it is best not to vaccinate the third COVID-19 vaccine, and should wait until their condition improves;

2, not during pregnancy, because the interval between the third needle and the second needle is long, so some women are pregnant at this stage or are already preparing for pregnancy. In this case, the third dose of COVID-19 vaccine is not recommended.

3, the onset of chronic diseases. Some patients with chronic diseases had no other adverse reactions when receiving the first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccine. However, due to the long interval between the third needle and the second needle, some patients with chronic diseases may also have an acute attack during this period. In this case, the third dose of COVID-19 vaccine is not recommended.

4, more than 6 months from the second needle. The interval between the third injection and the second injection of COVID-19 vaccine needs to be more than 6 months, because the intensive injection needs to meet the people who have been immunized for 6 months, that is, the people who have been vaccinated for 6 months after the second injection of inactivated vaccine or the first injection of adenovirus vector vaccine, so it cannot be premature or delayed.
