On the injection site? Sorry im confused.
we do not massage site after IM injection because it may cause underlying tissue damage
Intramuscular injection involves placing the medication directly into the belly of a muscle.
yes
deltoid
The most preferred side for intramuscular (IM) injection in pediatric patients is typically the vastus lateralis muscle, located on the outer thigh. This site is favored due to its size, accessibility, and because it is less likely to be affected by potential injury or muscle development issues compared to other sites, such as the deltoid. Additionally, the vastus lateralis is well-developed in infants and young children, making it a safer option for vaccine administration and other medications.
Most infections: 1-2 grams once daily (meningitis 2 gm twice daily.) For pediatric patients this medication is dosed by weight: 50-100 mg/kg/day as a single or divided twice daily dose. This is a 3rd generation cephalosporin and comes as an injection only (iv or im.)..Hope this helps!

In a orange.
No, this would be a relatively uncommon site for an intramuscular injection in most animal species.
no we should not rub
