Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
If your son is having pain and swelling after vaccination You can give paracetamol every 6th hourly about 15 mg/kg body weight for one to two days.
The child will have relief definitely.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
