IV (Intravenous) Hydration
You can resume normal activities. Some people feel energized or some may feel tired after their session. Feeling unwell is due to the detoxification process. IV hydration removes toxins from your tissues and on their way out they may make you feel tired and sluggish. Eat well, drink water, and move your body to help the toxins make their way out.
It is safe to resume normal activities - but listen to your body and rest if needed.
Bruising and slight discomfort at the IV site is common and should go away in a few days.
You may use a cold compress for comfort if needed. After that, warmth (like a heating pad) can help heal bruising at the site. Be careful not to freeze or burn the skin!
If you notice changes such as pain, redness, drainage, numbness, tingling or other concerning symptoms near your IV site, contact your healthcare provider.
It is safe to take over-the-counter pain relievers due to headache or pain at the injection site.
Tell your healthcare provider or go to the nearest hospital emergency department if you have signs of a serious allergic reaction, including:
Swollen face, lips, mouth, or tongue
Hives (raised, itchy areas of skin)
Vision changes
Trouble breathing or wheezing
Any new or worsening symptoms
Vitamin/Medication Injection
You may experience a feeling of soreness, pressure, discomfort, redness, minor bruising, and slight swelling at the site of injection. This may last from a few hours to a few days depending on the type of injection. This will resolve on its own.
How to decrease pain at the injection site:
Use the muscle group right away. Working the muscle gently helps decrease the duration of soreness.
Use a cold or warm compress. Be careful not to freeze or burn the skin!
Do not rub or sleep directly on the site if this can be avoided.
Take over-the-counter pain relievers as needed.
Give it time. Soreness at the injection site typically takes 1-2 days to resolve.
