General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

I do understand your pain and discomfort. As per your history the most common side effects are:

a) Injection-site pain/soreness/tenderness,
b) Injection-site swelling/induration, headache,
c) Injection-site erythema, asthenia and fatigue, and myalgia.

All these symptoms will go away on its own as temp is not so high so do not take any medications.

I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me. Wishing you all the best.

Thanks,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
