ice it down and take some aspirin, tylenol or motrin....if it stays swollen for more than 2-3 days, go see a Dr.

Yes, completely normal side effect. Just keep an eye on it. You can try to ice it or take ibuprofen or aspirin to try to decrease the inflammation.

yes, normal, just a local reaction... take a Tylenol should soreness develop....you may even feel a little yucky for a day and run a mild temp but nothing to worry about.
