Injection (or preparing for injections or shots) is the administrating of medicine to the body through the skin. The syringe is connected to a needle that pierces the skin and allows for the medicine to enter the body. Injections are a regular form of treatment for babies, children and adults. The following remedies can help provide immediate relief to the sting caused by the needle.

Home remedies for Injection

* After receiving an injection, place a cold can on the puncture to reduce swelling and pain.
* Immediately put on some alcohol and place a clean cotton or gauze over the area.
* Put some ice cubes over the pierced skin.
* Lie down while you put a cotton ball soaked in cold water or alcohol over your skin for fifteen minutes.
