After the blood donation, the donor must limit physical activity that is too heavy. The reason is that after the donor is likely to feel weak. It is also not recommended to drive the vehicle directly.

Do not lift heavy goods with the injected hand. If you need to lift heavy goods, you should wait until your body condition completely recovers. Donors need to pause lifting heavy objects at least 24 hours after the blood donation.

Don't forget to attach a plaster to the syringe scars. However, it should be noted that usually medical officers have attached a plaster to the scar so that donors don't need to attach additional plaster. It's just that donors need to keep the plaster awake at least 4 hours after the donor.

It's better to avoid standing for too long in the hot spot. Instead, look for a shady spot and then sit in a chair to relax more. Or if possible try to lie down with your feet slightly higher. You can bottle your feet with a pillow.

It is not without reason why donors get drinking water and snacks after blood donation. These foods and beverages need to be consumed if donors feel weak or dizzy. Consumption of drinking water needs to be done to replace body fluids that are lost due to donors. Also increase foods rich in iron.

Immediately compress the injection wound if the skin is bruised. Compression is done with ice covered with a towel to make it more comfortable. However, if the injection wound is not bruised or does not have prolonged pain, then compression does not need to be done.
