Can you take Tylenol because your arm hurts after the flu shot?

If you see slight swelling and redness at the area of the injection and that is what hurts, it would be okay to take acetaminophen (Tylenol) to help with the discomfort for a few days.
If the area looks more swollen or red as time passes or the soreness lasts longer than a few days, then you should contact your health care professional for advice.
Some people find a warm compress on the area helps ease the soreness. But, to make it hurt less the quickest way, the best thing to do is to use the arm, although you may not want to if it is sore. Moving the muscles where the vaccine was injected helps them recover quicker with improved blood flow. It is best to start using the arm as soon as you have the vaccination and you will have much less soreness. Some people always request that the vaccination be given in their dominant arm so they will have no choice but to use it following the injection and they find either no soreness or reduced soreness when they do.

Hydrocodone has Tylenol in it. It can be in large amounts or smaller amounts. I've seen it have 650mg of Tylenol all the way down to 350mg. Because of the damage to your liver, I've always been told not to take Tylenol when you take hydrocodone.
