Picture of bruises on girl's hand after IV drip

In daily life, everyone encounters illness. If the condition is serious, the doctor will give an IV for treatment. After the IV, your hands may turn blue. This is a normal condition and will usually disappear slowly by itself. If you want the white area to disappear faster, you can use some small tricks to achieve better results.

If your arms turn white due to intravenous drip, you can cover the white area with some potato cubes. The potato cubes should be cut thinly. In a short period of time after the infusion, you can also use an ice bag wrapped in a towel or other cool things to cover the whitened area, which can achieve the effect of blood circulation. After about 24 hours, cover it with a hot and damp towel or other things to disperse the blood stasis, and then gently massage it, which can speed up the recovery rate.

The arm turns white after an IV drip because the needle breaks the blood vessel or the injection is given in the same place several times, causing the blood in the artery to leak out and accumulate in the tissue. In this case, you only need to change the injection site or apply a hot towel on it. This can speed up the blood circulation in this area, and you can also massage it gently after applying it.

If your arm turns white after an IV drip, you can also use some warm water to foam your hands, and spray some red medicine spray on the congested area for treatment. If you need to continue the IV drip, you should slow down the speed during the drip. If it is too fast, it is not good for the heart. You can also use infrared acupuncture therapy to make the abscess absorb better.

What I introduced above is how to deal with the blue hands during IV drip. If you want to prevent your arms from turning white during IV drip, you can put a hand warmer or a heat patch on them, which can achieve the preventive effect. IV drip may also cause phlebitis, in which case you can use some Chinese medicine for external application, or use a low-frequency therapeutic device for treatment. The effects of these methods are very good, and you can learn more about them.
