Why would a kids brain swell after vaccines were given?
Well in this case I have found some references to TBF (Transient bulging of the fontanelle) and IIH (Idiopathic intracranial hypertension). One states:

We cannot conclude that vaccines cause TBF. Further controlled studies are necessary. Even if further research verifies TBF as a rare side effect, immunization benefits would still vastly outweigh this hypothetical risk.

ScienceDirect.com - The Journal of Pediatrics - Transient Bulging Fontanelle after Vaccination: Case Report and Review of the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System

And another:

The pathogenesis of IIH or TBF is unknown. IIH is not a disorder with a single causative factor. In theory, IIH may be caused by the following factors: parenchymal edema, increased cerebral blood volume, excessive CSF production, compromised CSF resorption,and venous outflow obstruction. Some studies have reported TBF or IIH in association with vaccination, otitis media, roseola, gastroenteritis, pharyngitis, acute upper respiratory infections, chickenpox, measles, and other medical problems including endocrine abnormalities or drugs. However, there are no case-control studies to date with definitive causes in children.

I reckon the jury's still out on that one.
