Does typhoid injection hurt?

Beta, it is a very small pinch, nothing to be afraid of. If the area feels a bit heavy or sore after the injection, you can gently apply a cold compress or a clean ice pack wrapped in a cloth. Rest your arm for a day.

I have to get vaccinated before my college hostel starts and I am a bit nervous about needles. Does the arm swell up after the typhoid shot, or is it just mild pain? Pls share if you had any fever after taking it.

My mother used to tell us to take a deep breath during injections, and it actually helps relax the muscle. It only hurts slightly, like an ant bite. Just go to a professional clinic and let the nurse handle it calmly.

Honestly, after staying up all night with a crying baby, a tiny needle prick is the least of my pain! Yes, it stings for a second, but it is way better than getting actual typhoid and being bedridden for weeks.

The physical pain of the injection is barely anything and lasts only a minute. What is more important is getting it done at a standard government hospital or local clinic where the vaccine is highly affordable and stored in proper refrigeration.
