Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to side effects of the injection. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen for the pain. I also recommend using cool compresses for local application.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
