Answers:
No, it is not malpractice. It is rare to get an infection, they followed the standard of care and when you stated unusual side effects, they did the right thing by having you see the doctor.
To sue someone you have to prove negligence. From what you stated there was no negligence, just a rare side effect.
GOOD LUCK!
