Stiff vein doubtful of clotting therein
After an IV injection in hand, one of the vein there around is felt to be somewhat stiffer than before.
Even after one month it doesn't get as soft as other veins. It is causing minor pain downstream throughout arm towards one of the finger.
It seems to me that there is minor clotting therein.
What remedy should I do? When and whom should I seek to visit?

It is thromboplebitis, inflammation of the injured vein. It takes time to resolve but if there is a thrombus inside, it may need application of creams to reduce the thrombus. Do not massage the area as it may cause detatchment of thrombus if any. Better to get examined physically by a qualified physician.

Even if there is a minor clot, leave it alone. At the best you should use Thrombophob ointment.
A classical example where the cure will be worse than the diseases.

You can consult any general physician on practo. As it is a case of post punture inflammation of vein, it will be resolved in 8 weeks by it own. But if you want to resolve it soon. You will need a legal prescription to buy the medicine. Kindly consult to me on practo for better management. Thank you

When the vein gets punctured through and through during injecting it leads to formation of a swelling. Consult for better management.
