Had some antibiotic shots on my back about 78 days ago, and now they're starting to hurt a bit. Any idea what might be causing this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The lingering pain at the injection site 7-8 days after antibiotic injections on your back could be due to inflammation, muscle irritation, or a localized reaction to the antibiotic, which can cause delayed-onset pain.

View allI've just gotten over Covid last Sunday, but now I'm dealing with these really uncomfortable skin rashes on my neck, armpits, and under my breasts. I've tried using prickly heat powder and coconut oil, but things seem to be getting worse and now I've got these red patches under my breasts. Theyve become really sensitive too, and I'm getting pretty scared because I'm not sure what's happening. The rashes are painful and making me really uncomfortable. Could this be related to my recent illness, or is it something else? What should I do?
