Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Swelling And Pain In The Arm After Immunotherapy?
taking immunotherapy for allergies. Got my shots at 3:30 today. Now it is 10. My arm still hurts (very similar to bruise pain). The skin under the injection point for about 2 inches is very tender to the touch and feels slightly swollen, but not hard. I get shots in both arms, but only my right arm has this reaction. I have had this pain once before but it only lasted a few minutes. Do you know what caused this reaction? Do I need to talk to my Dr?
This situation may be a consequence of both traumas from injection and reaction from the allergen. Every injection may have a different reaction it varies from different factors. You shouldn’t be worried it will become better after some hours or one day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Gjustina Loloci, Allergist and Immunologist
