A member asked:
Following donation of blood, is it ok to put ice on the injection site?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not directly: Ice on skin does not work well, but can put cool compress on area if having discomfort. Can also use the non-aspirin pain reliever you usually use if needed. Should improve rapidly and be gone in few days. If persisting, call donation center for further advice.
