Hi..
Welcome to HCM..
The symptoms could be due to abscess at the injection site or cellulitis..
Do consult the doctor for evaluation..
If it is an abscess it should be drained and antibiotics should be used..
or just inflammation with minimal infection antibiotics will do..
If the redness is mild with a rash it could ba an allergic reation..
Do consult the doctor for confirmation and appropriate treatment..
Hope this information is helpful to you..Take care..
