Let your doctor know: Hypersensitivity reactions can occur with Rituxan (rituximab) particularly after getting a second dose. I'm sure they pre-medicated with steroids but that is not fool proof. Without seeing you it may be just a mild inflammatory reaction from getting a medication like Rituxan (rituximab) which would subside in 7-14 days, but I would call your doctor ASAP to make sure it is not a more serious reaction.
