Lump on butt after injection

2018-01-16 20:06:13
I was diagnosed with viral fever two weeks back, for which I was given a 3-day medication course. I was given an injection for body pain and instant relief from fever at the clinic by the nurse. Ever since, i have had a lump on my butt (on the injected area) that hurts slightly on being pressed. Should I be concerned? Should I schedule a revisit to the doctor? Was it because of the nurse's incorrect way of injecting me?

It is normal for the injection site to be swollen. It is not because of incorrect way of injection. Please do not worry for the same
Next Steps
Do not try and press the area too much. It is advisable to keep a watch. If you feel the lump is increasing in size or if pain or fever persist, schedule a visit to the doctor.
Health Tips
Applying the area with glycerine magnisum sulphate will relieve the swelling. Do reach me online if you want more info
