It is generally not recommended to apply a cold or heat pack to an injection site unless advised by a healthcare professional. Using such packs can potentially interfere with the absorption or effectiveness of the medication and may lead to complications. It is best to follow the specific instructions given by your healthcare provider for post-injection care.

Why is it important to rotate injection sites?

It is important because injecting at the same site can lead to scare tissue, knots or bumps, inflammation, and infection. Rule of thumb is to never inject the same site twice in once week. The ideal number of sites to have is at least four hitting the injection site at least once a month. If you do come accross a bump or knot that feels hard but does not feel hot to the touch, has redness, or if you do not have fever - You most likely do not have an infection. You should treat it with a hot pack 15 min on and 15 min off, rub the area throughout the day, and you can also try putting ice if the hot pack does not seem affective. If it does not get better after 4 days... Be prepared to see your doctor ASAP as it may be a cyst or you just need an antibiotic to contract with whats going on.
