Hi
Sometimes the veins of the hands get swollen due to multiple puncture at the veins site for IV route.
The swelling usually stays for 4 -5 days.
The best way is to apply ice pack over the swollen area 2 - 3 times a day.
Topical ointment can also be applied for the same to reduce the swelling.
Please see a General Medicine doctor or you can consult me directly via practo for further evaluation and management.
Regards
Dr Prashik Meshram
