Dear Patient,
I think you either missed the muscle injecting it to a lymph node, or the injection was not very sterile.
Either ways if the inflammation does not relieve in 3 days consider taking Cephalosporin 3 generation antibiotics.
Meanwhile use ice patches in the area, and apply some anti inflammatory cream on it. You may buy it to your nearest drugstore.
Consider injections in your gluteal area next time
I think the situation will resolve with these advises.
Best Regards,
Dr. Eni
