Yes it is normal after vaccination.
DPT containing vaccine cause
-fever for 2 days,
-redness for 2 days at injection site,
-swelling at injection site (left thigh) which can be more for 2 days and then a small pea like tense swelling for 2 to 3 weeks also
-can make child irritable or lethargic for 2 days and sometimes for a week too
This is as such normal.
When to worry: not taking feeds at all, inconsolable crying, lethargic, seizures, decrease urine frequency
