Does A Kenalog-40 Injection Cause Any Side Effects?
Yes, I had a Kenalog-40 L knee injection at 2:50pm on Wed. 10/24/18 and tonight at 10:00 pm I discovered that my cheeks and nose were red and warm to the touch . Could this be a reaction to the Kenalog more than 24 hrs. after the injection? My last kenalog injection was in 2014 and I did not have a reaction. I thought with joint steroid injections 85-90% of the medication remained localized and only a small amount was systemic. Breathing and B/P are stable, HR 67. Thank you Thank you

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction to Kenalog.
I suggest using Benadryl to relieve the symptoms.
If you have other possible symptoms such as breathing difficulties, you should consult your doctor.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
