While doing an IV, skin swells up, why? What to do during this?
Why does the spot where IV was inserted start to itch? What to do during that?
I did an IV in my sister, I was in her vein, and as I inject the medicine slowly, I saw her skin was swollen and hard. I put the alcohol swipe and started to slowly massage the area with a gentle hand, in circular motions, and the swellig went down. After a bit her skin swole a bit, but this was above the are I injected. It was above the crease of the inner arm, where the arm folds. Could this be an allergy to the medicine? I injected Essential H (a medicine from Russia that is meant to clean the liver and better its function)
