A member asked:

How do i get rid of the bruise after an injection? why r we always told to breathe in when d needle is to be injected and breathe out wen it's done?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tincture of time.: The bruise will go away by itself in a few days, no worries. The rationale for taking a deep breath before and exhaling afterward is simply to distract you and lessen your anxiety about receiving the injection.
