What causes chest congestion after being on hydrogen peroxide IV?
Patient: I had my first of 6 hydrogen peroxide IV's a few days ago. The following day I developed a congested cough, bringing up lots of phlem, which I am still doing. I then came down with flu like symptoms & fever of 102.4. My hiatial hernia also began to hurt me, even though I hardly had much to eat prior. Is this all a part of the detox? Doctor: Firstly intravenous hydrogen peroxide is one such alternative therapy which has not been proved to scientifically effective . It only acts a placebo if you have seen people improving. It is a risky procedure and carries issues with it. Do consult a doctor and get yourself evaluated for infection in your lungs.
