Swelling in hand due to cannula
My mother has got cannula in her hand for 5 days. She got it removed 2 days ago. But she is having a lot of pain in that area and also the area has swollen and has turned blue pink. She is feeling a pulsating pain like there is a pus but we can't see one.

You can use Thrombophob ointment in the area where canula was inserted and also along the direction of vein nearby.
She should have Capsules Novaclox , a tablet which is combination of Paracetamol, Diclofenac and Serratiopeptidase.
