B12 Shot
I gave myself a B12 shot today, I dropped the needle but cleaned it off with a sterile pad. I'm sore and bruised on my hip, will this cause some kind of infection? I noticed the liquid was under the skin and I massaged it down. Should I worry?
hi,well may be you didn't peneterate upto muscle.Please take some pain killers like ibuprofen,diclofenac etc for 3 to 4 days and apply hot pad over injection site.
If the site of injection feels warm or hot to touch,probably it is the beginning of infection,in that case see a doctor for antibiotics prescription.
bye and take care!
