personally my jab was very painful (i had normal jab in the other arm at the same time and barely felt a thing in that arm!) and it swelled up and ached like mad. very uncomfortable and lasted about 48 hours in the end, so i can see why it would upset a young'n. However that said, if he is really worrying you or gets worse through the night make sure you ring NHS direct back for futher advice or to get him seen by a dr

hope he is feeling better soon though xxx

p.s. i take it you've tried calpol to ease the pain/temp?

Both of my children had the jab on tues, 9yr old whos asthmatic, woke with really bad headaches and temper on weds morning just gave him calpol. have noticed hes got a rash but not sure if its from the jab or not. My 5 yr whos got a heart condition only started with temp and headache yesterday, but is fine now. They havent said anything out the arms hurting.
