Hi If you have a flu like symptoms after an anti-sickness injection , it is obvious that an injection abscess is being developed.
Immediately send you blood for culture and sensitivity and then get started on an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory medicines.
Take full bed rest.
Get an ultrasonography of the area done, if it shows abscess formation go for incision and drainage surgery.
Get the routine blood tests done including that of sugar to rule out diabetes.
