If not, they need to be made aware of the situation before you are given another dose. You never know, it could be an allergic reaction or something else that could impact your treatments??? At least the doc can give you peace of mind!
Hydrocortisone is about all I’ve ever done for that sort of thing. Liquid benedryl may also help. Your doc may need to prescribe steroids for the most severe cases. It’s always better to get checked to rule out a serious condition.
Best wishes with everything!
