Vaccines during childhood give protection to children against many serious diseases. For example DPT vaccine protects against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough (pertussis); MMR vaccine protects against measles, mumps, rubella; OPV protects against polio; HiB vaccine protects against Haemophilus influenzae type B infection. Though vaccine use is safe but like many other medicines any of the vaccine can cause some side-effects though mild in most cases. This occurs from a natural response of the body while it is directed towards immunity building against the disease for which vaccination is given. These side effects last from a few hours to one or two days after vaccination. Homeopathic remedies for vaccine side effects offer a very natural, effective, safe and gentle management of various ailments that arise after vaccination.
Side Effects
Some of the side effects that can occur after inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV), DPT, Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), Haemophilus influenzae type B vaccine (HiB vaccine). They mostly appear within 24 hrs of vaccination. These include mild fever; pain, soreness, tenderness, swelling or redness at the site of the injection; loss of appetite; diarrhoea; vomiting; tiredness; sluggishness and irritability; fussiness; secondary blister elsewhere on the body.
Other than this side effects can occur 6 to 10 days after injection in case of MMR vaccine. These include mild fever, measles like rash, cough, runny nose, puffy eyes, swelling of salivary glands and loss of appetite.
Next vaccine is rotavirus vaccine that can sometimes lead to diarrhoea, abdominal pain, restlessness and irritability in children.
Other side effects that can occur after vaccination include small, red lump at the injection site. In some vaccines temporary headache, muscle or joint pain, runny nose, nasal congestion, trouble sleeping or drowsiness and being sleepy than usual.
In case of high temperature rarely febrile seizures or fits can occur in young children. The chance of febrile seizure is high if a child has a history of such seizure earlier in his life or have a family history of seizures.
In any of the vaccinations there are very rare chances (even less than one in million) of severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis. Swelling of face, hives, difficulty in breathing and even collapse can occur in severe allergic reactions. This tends to happen within minutes of taking the vaccination. This needs medical help right away without any delay.
Homeopathic Remedies for Vaccine Side Effects

These medicines are helpful to manage complaints of fever, diarrhoea, stomach pain, skin complaints, sleeplessness, redness, inflammation and swelling of arm, weakness headache, excessive sleep , runny nose, nasal congestion, cough, muscle or joint pain.

In such cases one must take immediate medical help from conventional mode of treatment without delay as it is a life threatening condition.

Hi Dr. Sharma,
I am familiar with homeopathy, and I have raised my children that way that are both now young adults. I recently had a tetanus shot due to a cat bite, and I have not been right since. I have extreme pain in my arm all the way down into my hand and fingers, sometimes I cannot use my arm at all. Sometimes it’s better, but then I can’t use my hand or bend my wrist, I see swelling in my hand and wrist at times. I have been taking some Arnica and using arnica cream. I tend to do better with heat and warm baths, but honestly I’m starting to panic and think I have permanent damage from this vaccine I see that you recommend rhus tux, I take a higher dose of this already for arthritic type. Inflammation response in my body. Should I take a lower dose for this acute problem or should I take more of my higher dose of 10m? I am completely devastated that this has disrupted my life so drastically. I’m hoping since it’s only been eight days since the vaccine maybe I will start to feel better but I’m really concerned that I have permanent damage. Can you please recommend a detox or the right remedy and dosage but I should use. I would greatly appreciate.
Warm regards,
Katie
My daughter is getting several vaccines in preparation for a trip to Vietnam. Should she take all of the remedies listed in your blog, or is just Thuja enough?
What is the best dose of thuja for the baby vaccinations? I presume it’s 6C unless 6X is best?
Thank you
Dear Dr. Sharma,
My 17 year old daughter is 12 days post MMR vaccination. She had a headache for a couple days, a mild fever for a day or less, but now has a rash, primarily on her torso (front and back) and also on her forehead. The remedies you list on your home page for skin rash doesn’t quite fit the description. As of now it is not overly itchy. Just lots of slightly red bumps. Which homeopathic remedy might address this particular symptom?
A friend of mine has severe light headedness dizzziness that started 2weeks after Covid vaccine with autonomic neuropathic symtomsAlso has fatigue and dyspnea.Can’t tolerate bright sunlight.Can you please suggest remedy for this problem that has lasted for over 6 months.Thanks
A colleague of mine had a seizure 10 years ago and was put on medication. Since he got the c-vid vaccine, he began having more and more uncontrolled seizures. Wondering how to detox after this vaccine.
A friend of mine is about 55 years old and got the polio vaccine at nine months old and contracted polio. It has affected the right side of her body. Do you know if there’s a remedy that we could try that would help her?

My daughter has a rash on her right hand from eating wheat and dairy. What homeopathic remedy can I use for it?
I recently started a relationship w a woman who has been jabbed (once, w no apparent side effects.) We have been intimate… What would you recommend for her, to lessen whatever side effects may occur in her future??? And, what would you recommend for me, to deal w potential shedding issues in my future??? Thank you so much for being here for us…
(If you have the time, I would be interested in your views on the shedding fr Covid “vaccines.” There is a dearth of information out there on the subject…)
I had a mild stroke in 2019. I had to get the covid vaccine in March of 2021 and since then have been experiencing more stress and related symptoms. I’ve seen my practitioner, had ekg, etc., and everything is fine but is there something I can take that would help with these stress-like symptoms. I presently take 75 mg levothyroxine 75 mg and rotuvastatin 5 mg.
Will any or all of these work for the Covid vccine also?
Yes.

Hypericum or Ledum are recommended as preventives on Homeosource.org.
Hi, I have essential tremors as a result of 1 Pfizer jab. A neurologist diagnosed it and wanted me to take a drug I am declining.
I also developed more anxiety and irritable emotions.
I have had more stomach issues even developed diverticulitis but I had eaten a lot of homemade chocolate chip cookies with pecans. My diverticulosis was diagnosed 5 years ago from my first colonoscopy but never ever had a serious infection till recently. I was treated with 2 antibiotics and an over it. I had my gallbladder removed in 2018 and also have known I have gerd (have known for 5 years).
I take a lot of supplements and I take 1 blood pressure pill (over a decade). I am and have been on a low dose hormone patch too for over a decade.
I also tested positive for covid about 7 weeks after the jab and had a mild case so I was a break through case too.
Any advice for my tremors and stomach issues, natural methods?
Sincerely Stephanie
Homeosource lists Thuja as a remedy for trembling limbs after vaccine. If this does not help, you’ll need to set up an appt with a professional like Dr. Sharma to dig deeper.
I’m taking Monica orally and putting it on my injections spot. Is that OK?
Kindly advise some homeopathic medicine to nullify the covid 19 vaccine side effects for all age groups.
In addition to the comments Dr. Sharma has above, you can look to Homeosource.org under Symptoms/Vaccine Reactions for other remedies based on symptoms.
Hi so glad to have found your website. My future daughter in law had the vaccine given to teenagers I believe it was produced by Bill Gates. I think the name is Guardisol? Is there a homeopathic remedy that could offset the effects of this horrifying vaccine? Thank you

DONT TAKE DO YOUR RESEARCH
Hello Dr Sharma
I am a 56 year old female and will be having a 1st dose of Covid vaccine this coming Saturday. Today I’ve purchased Arnica 30, Belladonna 30 and Thuja 30 – I have read they are good to counteract any side effects of vaccinations.
Please could you let me know what’s the best way to take these remedies (before and after the shot) and whether I should take them together or separately. Is there any other remedy you would advise? Where I live there is a very limited access to homoepathy and I have no access to any other homeopath.
Many thanks
