Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I understand you concern.
I kindly want to ask if the swelling is at the injection site?
If the swelling is at the injection side, it can be a normal reaction of the skin.
I recommend to use anti inflammatory medication to reduce the swelling, such as Acetaminophen 500 mg.
I also recommend to use cool compresses for relief.
The swelling will go away in a few days, so I suggest you not to worry.
You can post point the next injection until the swelling has gone.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
