Hi and thanks for the query,

Clinical signs and symtoms of an allergic reaction are clear and difficult to be missed. I di think you need to be patient for a while on the drugs, In case of severe pain, a simple analgesic like Acetaminophen could be added. In case these symptoms persist or aggravate within a couple of days, you could then see your Dr. Kind regards
