IV Hydration Therapy
Immediate Post-Care
- Keep the IV site clean and dry; leave the bandage on for at least 2 hours.
- If you notice slight bleeding at the site, apply gentle pressure with a clean gauze pad.
- Stay seated or resting for 10–15 minutes before resuming normal activity to avoid lightheadedness.
- Mild bruising or soreness at the insertion site, which typically resolves in a day or two.
- Increased energy and hydration within 30–60 minutes.
- Possible mild headache as fluids balance out—drink extra water if needed.
- Continue to sip water throughout the day to maintain hydration.
- Eat a balanced meal with protein and healthy fats within an hour of your infusion.
- Avoid alcohol for at least 12 hours post-treatment to let your body fully absorb nutrients.
- Rest if you feel fatigued; gentle movement like a short walk can help distribute fluids.
- You experience severe pain, swelling, or redness at the IV site.
- You develop signs of infection (fever, warmth, discharge) or an allergic reaction.
