Not uncommon. If chills, fever, sweating or weakness, need to see a doctor today. If “just” pain, you may need a stronger pain medication - not available on this forum.

Agree with Dr A.L. Also recommended topical over the counter anesthetic like Anbesol or Oragel & up to 800 Mg of ibuprofen every 8 hours to help pain
