Hello,

Bruises can after any intramuscular injection. It will resolve in two or three days even without treatment. You can take analgesics/anti inflammatory drugs like Acetaminophen-Seratiopeptidase combination for symptomatic relief. Apply ice packs for faster recovery. Nothing much to worry as you will be fine in couple of days.

Hope I have answered your query.
