Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The symptoms of your relative are probably related to the injection side effects.

I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication to relieve the swelling, such as Acetaminophen three tablets a day.

I also recommend using warm compresses at the area of swelling.

If the symptoms continue I recommend using antibiotics such as Augmentin 625 mg twice a day for seven days.

You should consult your doctor about the antibiotics because they can be taken only on prescription.

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

Note: For further queries, consult a joint and bone specialist, an Orthopaedic surgeon. Book a Call now.
