Hello,
It is due to local inflammation. As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a physician and get evaluated. We have to rule out possibilities like meningitis in that case.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
