What Causes Swelling On Face After Taking Cortisone Shots?
I received 2 cortisone shots two days ago and this morning I saw my face all swollen, it looks like sunburned as well. About an hour ago my throat started tightening.I am 52 years old, 5 8, 150 pounds. Should I go to the doctor or will it go away? Thank you, Miryam
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if this steroid shot taken then this could be cause of this if this is taken in high dose else cause of puffiness could be due to anemia just wait for some time this would be fine soon, take care and have a nice day.
