Ask Your Question: I got the flu shot 3 days ago. Two minutes after getting the shot i think i might have got a really weird reaction causing the roof of my mouth to experience sharp/sore pains. It comes and goes. The pain hurts only when i swollow. Has anyone had this before?

This might possibly be an allergic reaction. Are you allergic to eggs? Those who are should not get the shot.
It is unusual it would last three days. It would more likely be a swelling of the throat or itching. If these are happening return to your doctor today.

I haven’t heard of this. You should definitely report it to VAERS. http://vaers.hhs.gov/pdf/VAERS_brochure.…
