Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am 18 years old, and I was given a painkiller injection before seven days due to an extreme headache. Recently, I have noticed a swelling and a severe pain near the injected area (an area just below my hips). What can I do to get rid of it?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You had a painkiller injection in the gluteal region. The pain and swelling can be due to inflammation. You can apply an ice wrapped cloth frequently over it for one to two days. There is no need for taking any further medication as per my opinion. Kindly upload your post photo of the swelling to check it and to guide you further.
