Problem: Article: It's not uncommon to have some pain or discomfort at an injection site for a few hours or days. Looking for signs of post-injection inflammatory reactions can help you figure out the best way to relieve your pain or if you need to see your doctor. Common symptoms are: Itching Redness radiating from the injection site Warmth Swelling Tenderness Pain Put an ice or cold pack over the injection site. This can relieve itching, swelling, and pain by constricting blood flow and cooling your skin. Leave the ice on the site for 15 20 minutes. Do this three to four times per day until the pain eases. Use a bag of frozen vegetables if you don't have an ice pack. Put something like a towel between your skin and the ice or cold pack to minimize the risk of frostbite. Put a clean, cool, wet washcloth over the injection site if you don't want to use ice. Avoid applying heat to your injection site. This can increase swelling as it brings more blood to infected area. Over-the-counter medications can relieve pain and swelling. Consider taking these medications if you have a lot of pain or inflammation at the injection site. Take pain relievers including ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB), naproxen sodium (Aleve) or acetaminophen (Tylenol). Do not give aspirin to children or teenagers under 18, as it increases the risk for Reye's syndrome, a potentially fatal condition. Minimize swelling with NSAIDs (non-steriodal anti-inflammatory drugs) like ibuprofen and naproxen sodium. Avoid taxing the area where you had an injection, especially if it was a cortisone shot. This can give the injection site time to heal and may prevent further pain or discomfort. Keep heavy lifting to a minimum if you got a shot in the arm. Stay off of your feet if you got an injection on your leg. If you have received a steroid shot, avoid heat for 24 hours to ensure the injection will have maximum response. In some cases, injections can cause allergic reactions or prolonged pain. Seek medical attention as soon as possible if you experience any of the following symptoms or are unsure about your medication: Worsening pain, redness, warmth, swelling, or itching Fever Chills Muscle aches Difficulty breathing High-pitched or uncontrolled crying in children
Summary: Watch for injection site reactions. Apply ice therapy. Take pain medication. Give the site some rest. Seek medical attention for allergic reactions or infection.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If it starts raining and you see someone stuck beneath the eaves of a shop because they were not expecting the storm, duck inside a convenience store and purchase an umbrella for them, if possible (and one for you, if necessary). Give them the umbrella so they can go on their way. When your birthday or holidays draw near, your friends and family might start asking you what you want. Ask them to make a charitable contribution to an organization of their choice (or of your choice) instead of getting you a gift. There are many ways to become a mentor. For instance, if you're a strong reader and writer, you could help out a young person who you know needs help writing an essay for school. If you know a teen neighbor needs help finding a job but their parents are too busy, you could teach them how to browse classifieds, develop a resume, and dress properly for an interview. If you have a valuable skill set, you could put your abilities to work as a volunteer with an organization. For instance, if you're a lawyer, you might offer to help out at a nonprofit that needs help with a legal matter. If you're an electrician, you might be able to help fix electrical problems at your local homeless shelter or soup kitchen. If you see someone waiting at the bus stop or trying in vain to hail a taxi, pull over and offer them a ride to their destination. The stranger is even more likely to appreciate and accept your offer if the weather is poor. Contact local music venues and ask if they would be willing to host an event for a charity. Once you've secured a venue, contact some local musicians and ask if they would be interested in performing in a charity concert. Once you have three or four bands or musicians available, advertise the event on social media and in local papers. Donate the ticket sales to a worthy charity. Encourage musicians and music venues to participate in your event by reminding them that while they won't make money directly from ticket sales of the event, they will get positive exposure. Music venues, additionally, will earn money from the sale of food and drinks during the concert, while musicians can sell their records and other merchandise. Identify charities that match your interests, then research each to ensure they are legitimate. Check each organization's website for a clear mission statement and lists of its programs, board of directors, and accomplishments. Find out how you can make a donation by checking the organization's website. The easiest way will probably be to use a credit card, PayPal, or another digital payment service. Many charities also accept checks or money orders. If you can't find information online about how to make a donation, call the charity's offices directly and inquire about how to do so. Use a third-party site like CharityWatch or GuideStar to identify charities and nonprofits that are legitimate.

Give an umbrella to someone who doesn't have one when it's raining. Ask for donations instead of gifts on birthdays and holidays. Become a mentor to a child. Offer your professional services for free. Drive a stranger home. Host a music festival and donate the proceeds to charity. Make a charitable donation.
