Question

I'm really concerned about this penicillin injection I got near my lower hip yesterday for a weakly reactive VDRL. It still hurts quite a bit a day later, even after trying both ice and hot packs. I've also been gently rubbing the area, but the pain persists. Is this normal, and how long might it take to feel better? Could there be a risk of infection or something?

Injection site reactions are usually mild and resolve in 12 days. However, if the redness spreads or your pain worsens after 24 hours,consult general physician
