It should get better in a day or so. You may take acetaminophen, for the pain, no more than 4 g/day, no alcohol. Wish you good health!

A localized reaction may occur and usually resolves within 48 hours. If you experience moderate to severe pain, fever, difficulty breathing, please notify your PCP. A cool compress to the area may be helpful.
