Radiesse Injection Went Bad?

maramara
I had Radiesse injections into nasal folds done on Friday and now my lip, nose and right side of the face are swallen, brused and there are small white bumps on the skin like little pimples or white heads around the bruses with white pus coming out of them. I am taking antibiotics but they don't help. My conditions is getting worse my lips, right jowl and nose are very swallen but no injection was performed into these places. Could it be a viral infection and what medication would work for it.
