A member asked:

You said it was normal to have facial swelling after a cortisone shot. how long until the swelling goes away? also do you have any home remedy suggestions to help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No remedies: IT would be unusual for one corticosteroid injection to cause marked facial swelling but the swelling will recede as the medication effect wanes over a week or two. AVoidance of salt intake lessens the effect.
