In the evening a few hours after getting the shot, there was a bruise at the injection site about the size of a ping pong ball, as well as some reddness and swelling of the thigh. The next morning, her right thigh looked almost double the size of her left thigh and the reddness close to 3 inches each was around the injection site as well as bruising. The site was warm through her pants and hard. About 6pm on the 9th, her right thigh measured 14 inches around and her left thigh was 10 inches around. The reddness was 3 inches both ways. I called an on call nurse that morning and evening and was told this was an okay reaction to have since she had no other symptoms. The next morning (10th), the reddness was 4 inches both ways though the swelling seemed about the same. Her thigh was also itchy. A benadryl spray was used and this seemed to be helpful. Morning of the 11th, swelling was significantly decreased as was reddness. The bruise was more visible and the site remained warm and somewhat hard. The 12th, site still had some bruising and swelling, though not so much reddness. She has scratches from it being itchy.
