10 Side Effects of Flu Shots
Flu Shots Side Effect #2: Aches and Pains
Every now and then we are likely to experience aches and pains in our bodies. This can be down to having exercised heavily, generally being run down or maybe an illness. Aches and pains are also a fairly common side effect of recently having had a flu shot.
If you are experiencing aches and pains after a flu shot, you could try an over the counter pain-killer such as ibuprofen to help relieve the symptoms. The symptoms are likely to pass in a couple of days anyway and should hopefully not be too uncomfortable. You should arrange to speak with a doctor only if the symptoms become too uncomfortable.
