Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

Your symptoms sounds like a reaction to cortisone - the ingredient in these steroids. They are not considered very serious and usually leaves within a couple of days but if you are still feeling bad for the next 48 hours, please report this to your doctor. If you have immediate concerns, call immediately.
Best,
Susan
