💉 BCG Vaccine Reaction? Don’t Panic, It’s Normal!
Many parents worry when they see a small scar, bump or abscess on their baby’s left arm after the BCG vaccine — but guess what?
👉 It’s completely normal!
BCG contains live bacteria, so the body reacts — forming a small lump, nodule, or sometimes an abscess.
This means your baby’s immunity is responding and protecting against severe TB 💪
✔️ The swelling becomes very large
✔️ There’s high fever
✔️ Baby seems uncomfortable
In rare cases, doctors may need simple treatment or a tiny procedure — but in most cases, it heals on its own.
So breathe easy, parents — that little mark is a sign of strong protection, not a problem.
