What is an "injection"?
An injection is a method of delivering medication or fluids into the body using a needle and syringe. It can be given into different areas, such as a muscle, vein, or under the skin, depending on the type of medication and its intended effect. Injections are used for vaccines, pain relief, hormones, and other treatments that need to be given directly into the bloodstream or tissues.
