What is the situation when numbness occurs in the left hand and left foot after receiving intravenous fluids for a cold?

Patient's question:

I have a cold, after getting an intravenous drip, my right hand and left foot are numb. What's going on?

Doctor's answer:

This situation involves numbness in the right hand and left foot. It may be caused by poor blood and Qi circulation due to inactivity during intravenous infusion. Proper exercise and massage on the affected area can alleviate the symptoms. It is important to pay attention to active outdoor activities regularly and take hot baths to promote blood circulation, which can help prevent numbness in the hands and feet. If the numbness is due to adverse drug reactions, it is advisable to consider stopping the medication while seeking active treatment.
