Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to an boil caused by the injection. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation. I also suggest using an antibiotic cream for local application such as Neosporin cream.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
