Hi, it could be gluteal abscess( that means there is pus accumulation in the area where you were given injection, due to infection) And the best treatment for it is that the pus should be evacuated.
Next Steps
It should be physically examined, try contacting a nearby hospital for availability of general surgeon. Until then paracetamol and cold compressions can help in reducing pain but this two measures are not effective in clearing the pus.
