Brief Answer:
Apply ice

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for using the Ask a Doctor service.

DPT is known to frequently cause local and systemic reactions. As of now I do not think that you need to worry or do anything. Just apply ice topically. I hope that it would be ok in a day or two.

Feel free to write back.
