Hi

Thanks for asking.

Medicine allergies are quite a common occurance in the medical practice. Flare, chills,with increase in heart rate and pulse rate indicates allergy to some of the constituent of the injection.

The fact that the allergy reappeared when you took the injection second time indicates that you won 't be able to take the injection, and you should avoid it from now on.

As the next reaction can be life threatening.Not every body can take all the injections/medicines.

Thanks.
