Hi,

Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction from Depo Medrol shot. I suggest you to stop the medication and take antihistamines such as Levocetirizine daily.

If the symptoms continue you should consult Your symptoms seem to be related doctor for other possible treatments such as steroids.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi,
