My baby developed a major reaction to his BCG vaccine - 6 weeks after injection, a hard bump that became soft and squishy. I know that this can happen and is not a big deal. Yesterday it came to a head and is "oozing" clear liquid. My pediatrician on the phone said to just keep an eye on it, keep it clean, etc. Now we noticed a bump under the skin on his neck. Could this be his lymph nodes swelling in response to the bursting ulcer? We'll see the pediatrician on Monday, but I would love to be reassured that this is not serious. Thanks!
BCG vaccine reaction - lymph bump in neck?
Yes it could well be due to the ulcer, but you are doing the right thing in getting him seen by an expert...good luck.
