When I got facial flushing from a cortisone shot, it lasted about four days with the second day being the worst. I noticed that I looked sunburned and my face was swollen about 24 hours after the shot. I did not want the side effects of Benedryl, so I just took Aleve and it helped. My face actually felt burned, so I put lotion on it. It was a bit embarrassing to look so red in the face, but it all subsided over about 4 days and the shot brought enormous relief to my shoulder.

Taking cortisone steroid injections effect in water retention. To some, puffy face becomes noticeable, while in most cases not. Puffy face will only last one month after injection.
