Patient's question:
Muscle hard lump, sometimes painful, sometimes not. 20 days ago, high fever in the hospital received antipyretic injections. Previous treatment and effect: Child's antipyretic injections need what kind of assistance: Will there be any sequelae left, or is the muscle damaged by the injection?Doctor's answer:
Local cold compress. When a lump is detected at the intramuscular injection site, a local cold compress with a warm towel can be used, but it must be noted that if it's soon after the injection, cold compress should not be applied immediately. It must wait for 6 hours before applying. If the time is too short, it may cause blood vessel congestion and local skin breakdown after cold compress. To prevent water from entering the needle hole and causing infection, a small amount of salt can be added to the hot water when necessary, which will be more effective.
