Fluctuating inflammatory skin reaction to Juvederm 2 weeks after treatment.. What can I do? And why is this happening? (Photo)

ladyt2
I got 1cc of Juvederm in my cheeks. 2 weeks on, they both get red and hot in warm situations, mainly happens at night while I am in bed so I get up to ice them. There isn't any swelling and its not painful, just uncomfortable. I have had a course of antibiotics and I am on antihistamines. The symptoms subsided last week for 3 days but came back over the weekend. If it's an allergic reaction why is it fluctuating?
