A member asked:
I had a steroid shot and an antibiotic injection with a penicillin base on saturday today is sunday. i have a flushed face. is this a side effect?

Probably: Flushing after steroid injection is not uncommon. If it is from the antibiotic, that's a bit more concerning. If you have any trouble breathing, swallowing or feel faint, you should head to the er. It may be the start of an allergic reaction.
