Vaccines work by tricking the body into thinking it has a virus and mounting a defense against it.That may cause arm soreness, fever, headache, muscle aches, or other temporary symptoms of inflammation that can be part of that reaction.
These symptoms mean immune system is revving up and the vaccine is working,” Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said.Fever “literally mobilizes the cells, it moves them in the body into the right place at the right time,”
A study on mice in the Journal of Virology found painkiller drugs that target inflammation, including ibuprofen might lower production of antibodies.Based on research on other vaccines like for the flu, have shown a blunting effect on immune response from these pills
Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Michael Lamanteer said.
The vaccination causes very minimal, insignificant discomfort at the time of administration,furthermore, If the temperature reaches 39.4 C or 103 F, redness or tenderness in the arm increases after a day or if side-effects don’t go away after a few days, then it may be reasonable to take something like acetaminophen to treat those symptoms.
I took painkiller just after vaccination as precaution to avoid discomfort,you should avoid it.
CDC says Don’t use painkillers beforehand. Try very hard not to.”If the shot itself causes pain, try covering it with a cool, wet cloth — or exercise your arm, CDC suggests. It is advisable skipping painkillers if one can bear it.
