I received a flu shot a couple of days ago at work. The day after, I started having pain in my armpit along with some swelling. Is this normal? I still have the pain and it's been 3 days now. This is occurring on my left side where I received the shot. The shot area itself is back to normal, just a little tender.
Well you cannot get the flu from the flu shot itself because they give you a dead flu but it is possible to still get the flu after you've gotten the shot. It will not be nearly as bad as if you didn't get the shot. If you think you are having flu symptoms, call your doctor or get checked out because it can still be serious even after the flu shot and they need to treat it.
Cold chills can come from having the flu, or perhaps in your case with the fainting, could be something as simple as you not having enough protein to eat on a regular basis. Protein is like the wood in a fire, it burns and heats up a person. And if you ain't got no fire, you'll get cold. In addition, protein gives you energy, and if you don't have any, you can get pretty weak and light-headed. But there are many reasons why this happened to you, those are just my top two choices.
I haven't got my flu shot bc I'm worried about the risks even though I know the benefits out weigh the risks.. I'm still worried.. Any moms out there have the flu shot?
I've had both. And I'm fine. Flu shot hurt more than the tdap shot.
I never got the flu shot.
my edd is Jan 19 , and it will be flu season. I'm conflicted on getting the flu shot. Does anyone know the pros and cons of the flu shot and If they're getting it ?
Is there anything scientifically to back that up? I wasn't going to get the flu shot but if it protects my baby after he's born I will definitely do it!
I'm a nurse and get my flu shot every year for work (I work with children who love to share germs) and will be getting it this year also especially since I'm pregnant. Many people worry that the flu shot will make you sick, but it doesn't. It's a dead virus and not biologically possible.
The flu shot pretty much puts the flu in your body. A lot of ppl get sick after getting it. Most doc say you already had a cold coming before hand. I've always been against it but I have to receive the shot for my job on Fri and I'm dreading if I'm gonna get sick or not. I think the exact same does it even work or do u have to have it first.
I'm 23 weeks and curious what everyone thinks about getting a flu shot...I've read it's great and beneficial for both me and my baby even after he is born...
