Brief Answer:
Possible minor post procedural complications

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir

I can certainly understand your concern.

This is directly related to the post procedural minor complications.

This will subside on its own.

In case, you feel it intolerable oral pills of Levocetrizine will help.

Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe these pills to you.

Post your further questions if any.
Thank you.
