Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to injection side effects. I recommend using cold compresses in the area to relieve the swelling and pain. I also recommend using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen three tablets a day.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
