My 5 year old daughter had the following shots on Thursday afternoon (more than 2 days ago). It is 11pm in Western Alaska now and the shots were administered at 5:30pm. Polio, HepA, HepB, Dtap, & Varicella. Her leg is swollen, red, and itchy around the injection site.

Hello,
Thank you for asking your query at DoctorSpring.
1.May I know whether she is having this redness, swelling and itching for the last 2 days (that is soon after the shots) or is it more of a recent onset ? If so of what duration ? (in hours)
2.Is she having any fever ?
3.Is there any pus or discharge from the area ?
4.Is that particular leg swollen as a whole ? (or just at the injection site )
5.Is there a pain and/or swelling at the same knee and/or ankle joints ?
You can reply as a followup question. This additional information will help me in forming a better and learned opinion.
Thank you
