I had an injection in my back about a week ago, and now, for the past 2 days, I have pain, redness, and slight swelling at the same spot. Painkillers are not helping. What should I do?

Have a query?

It sounds like you may have an infection or inflammation at the injection site, which needs prompt medical evaluation since painkillers are not helping and symptoms have persisted for 2 days.
Pain, redness, and swelling after an injection can indicate an infection such as cellulitis or an abscess, or a local inflammatory reaction. Since painkillers are ineffective, this suggests the issue may be more than simple inflammation.
Please consult a doctor as soon as possible to prevent complications and get appropriate treatment. If symptoms worsen or you develop systemic signs like fever, go to emergency care immediately.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please tell me your age and gender.
