My sister is 37. She is suffering from anemia. So, doctor prescribed iron injection to her. She received it in her buttocks. After receiving it, she has pain and swelling in the buttocks. Due to that she can't sit properly. She applied ice cubes and betnovate ointment. But it doesn't work. So please give me your valuable suggestions to get ride out of the pain.

Get her injection site checked to make sure it has not become an abscess. Iron injections are painful otherwise.
