I often come across prescriptions recommending hot fomentation for relief
of post vaccination pain and tenderness over the injection site. Many
pediatricians prescribe ice packs/cold compress; others prescribe
Thrombophob ointment application, besides paracetamol. What is the stand
of IAP on this vital issue?
