Is it normal for feet to swell up after receiving saline IV?

Yes. It is normal to experience some swelling in your feet after receiving saline IV. This is because saline IV can cause fluid overload, which can lead to edema (swelling). The swelling is typically mild and will resolve on its own within a few days. However, if the swelling is severe or persistent, you should contact your doctor.

Here are some tips to help reduce swelling after saline IV:

- Elevate your feet above your heart as often as possible.

- Wear loose-fitting shoes and clothing.

- Avoid standing for long periods of time.

- Drink plenty of fluids.

- Avoid salty foods.

- If the swelling is severe or persistent, contact your doctor.
