Sometimes you will develop a large bump, like a giant mosquito bite. As long as it goes away within 24 hours, and you are not having trouble breathing or swallowing, you are probably fine. Most clinics have a number you can call with questions if you are concerned. See if the nurse can use some topical spray and/or apply an ice pack right after you get the shot to help. Also, taking an anti-histamine like Zyrtec a short time before you get your shot helps reduce the reaction too. (Before taking any medication, please check with the doctor or nurse.)<br><b>References : </b><br> Allergy shots will often sting or itch for a while afterward, especially when the dosage starts to increase.
