Infectious Diseases Specialist, Dr. Arun's Response
Hello dear,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic.
I read and understand your concern.
I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.
Congratulations for the baby.
If the pain is arising is because of the injection, than it probably is infected.
I advice you to take good care of the local wound by cleaning and applying antibiotics ointment over it.
You can take the aceclofenac tablet under your doctors guidance this will relieve the pain. If the leg is immovable and can cause pain muscle relaxant like Chlorzoxazone can also be used.
I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you, Dr Arun Tank Infectious diseases specialist, HCM.
