Does morphine have any serious side effects?
Yes, morphine can have multiple side effects. What you are describing is likely an infection of the injection site from your morphine. I would recommend seeing your primary care ASAP or go to urgent care for an evaluation. You may need an antibiotic. Typical morphine side effects include fatigue, constipation, nausea, and the worst being respiratory distress. If you have an allergy to morphine, it would usually present as a systemic allergy and not localized to the injection site. READ MORE
