Three days after an iron infusion, you might experience side effects such as headaches, mild fever, joint aches, and muscle aches. These delayed reactions can occur between 1 and 8 days post-infusion.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Headaches: These are a common side effect and can range in intensity.
- Mild Fever: A slight increase in body temperature can occur.
- Joint Aches: Some individuals experience pain and stiffness in their joints.
- Muscle Aches: Similar to joint aches, muscle soreness is also possible.
It's important to note that many people experience minimal to no side effects from iron infusions. However, if you do experience these symptoms, they are generally mild and temporary. If you are concerned about the severity or duration of any side effects, contact your healthcare provider.
