Ibugesic is an analgesic and is used sympomatically to treat pain or inflammation. I would suggest you to look at the injection site for any redness or swelling. And if injection site is normal, stop giving ibugesic. And start only if you child cries due to pain. If there is redness or swelling continue ibugesic for 1-2 days as prescribed until the lesion subsides. Hope this helps. Thanks.
