Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
You may have infection at the punctured site.
You need proper clinical examination.
If infection is suspected then you should be given broad spectrum antibiotics.
Anti-inflammatory medicines should also be given.
If there is formation of pus then drainage may be required.
Get well soon.
Take Care
