Vein infection

2018-08-21 18:03:20
I got this infection in my blood vessel right hand after being given a saline +antibiotic for viral fever. It has been about 2 weeks, my vein has become hard which my doctor says is due to fibrosis and no issues., but problem is the pain keeps on coming irregularly. Is it a thing to worry, should i look for second opinion. Just confused.

Its actually nothing to worry about. Its quiet common when fluids are given through intravenous line.
