Swelling in the vein
25 days back I was sick and had few iv fluids injected into my right hand. I used to have a lot of pain while I was taking those fluids. And now after many days I see a part of my vein swelling. It's in green colour and I'm having slight pain in it. You can found the picture in the attachment below. Please help me out I'm scared. What is that it could be???
