Brief Answer:
Suggestions on DPT vaccine
Detailed Answer:
Hi....
1. Regular dose of DPT vaccine is known to cause some pain and fever. It's an expected symptom.
2. Fever medicine can be used for pain too. I suggest you give the same medicine in the suggested dose every 4-6th hourly.
3. You can give some cold compresses in the injection site.

Brief Answer:
Probably this is because of pain
Detailed Answer:
Hi...this jerking reflex is probably because of pain if it has started only after vaccination.
But if the jerks are occurring since long, we need to rule out myoclonic jerks, a type of seizures.
