Experiencing symptoms such as shivering or feeling feverish after receiving an IV vitamin C injection can be concerning. Here are some potential explanations and considerations:Immune Response: IV vitamin C can stimulate the immune system, which might lead to temporary symptoms like shivering or feeling feverish as your body responds to the infusion.Rate of Infusion: Sometimes, the rate at which the IV is administered can affect how your body reacts. A rapid infusion might lead to transient side effects, including chills or a sensation of fever.Hydration Status: Ensure you are well-hydrated before and after the infusion, as dehydration can sometimes exacerbate side effects.Allergic Reaction: Although rare, an allergic reaction could cause symptoms like fever and chills. If you experience additional symptoms such as rash, difficulty breathing, or swelling, seek medical attention immediately.Infection Risk: While uncommon, there's a small risk of infection with any IV procedure. If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s important to contact your healthcare provider to rule out an infection or any other underlying issue.Individual Sensitivity: Each person may react differently to vitamin C infusions. If these symptoms are recurrent or concerning, discuss them with your healthcare provider. They may adjust the dosage or infusion rate, or explore alternative treatments.It's important to monitor your symptoms and contact your healthcare provider if they persist or if you have any concerns about your reaction to the IV vitamin C injection.

Collagen is prone to an allergic reaction and thus Restylane and Juvederm injections are used in my practice to fine tune small areas of the nose without surgery.
Keloids are an abnormal response to wound healing, leading to enlarged and unusual distributions of collagen. Generally, treatment relies on some form of serial anti-inflammatory injectable (steroids) followed by excision. Statistically, 50% of keloids will recur after surgical...
Thank you for your question. In this circumstance it sounds like you may have been exposed to bovine collagen and this is potentially an allergic reaction. I would meet with a qualified professional to have a physical examination in order to determine the root cause. Hopefully the discussion...
