My husband received a rocephin shot about 2 weeks ago. immediately there was a lump after the shot, I thought it maybe wasn t absorbed it went away but now he says it s tender to touch it, and there is a very small lump at the injection site! Could this be from irritating those tissues?
Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Even though confirmation needs a physical examination, from your history of the tender lump at an injection site, it could be the starting of an injection abscess. I would advise you to get it assessed soon by a general surgeon before it transforms itself into a full-fledged abscess which might need an incision and Chat Doctor.  Till then, you could give him an anti-inflammatory along with a proton pump inhibitor
