Is Thrombophop Gel Safe For Infants?

My daughter is 6 weeks old and has been administered DTP vaccine on 21.06.2017. To relief her from stiffness and pain health workers suggested ice pack or thrombophob gel. But my daughter did not allowed to apply ice pack & though the gel gave her relief from pain, I am worried that, whether application of such Heparin gel to my little one is normal. Kindly reply.
