You can shower a few hours after the infusion

In general, it is recommended that patients shower 24 hours after fluid infusion. The decision of whether or not to take a shower depends on the patient’s physical condition and disease, and whether or not there is a wound before asking the doctor. After the infusion, since the fluid entering the body will cause an increase in blood circulation and accelerate the expansion of capillaries in the body, patients need to wait for their bodies to recover and adapt before taking a shower. It is usually necessary to observe for 24 hours, and if the patient has no other symptoms and has a good physical quality as well as a good recovery of the condition, the shower can be taken. However, attention should be paid to the care of the puncture site during the shower to ensure that the needle holes of the puncture infusion have healed and to avoid prolonged exposure to water at the puncture site, which may cause infection and other symptoms. At the same time, the 1st shower after infusion should not be too long, 5-10 minutes is enough; if it is too long, it may lead to physical discomfort such as lack of oxygen for the patient. And if the patient is not recovering well, it is recommended to take a warm water bath to clean the body. In addition, after the infusion, patients are advised to pay attention to keep warm, drink more warm water, avoid strenuous exercise, maintain good living habits, do not stay up late, do not smoke and drink alcohol, and can eat easily digestible food to promote recovery.
