Treatment for a swollen arm from an IV injection typically involves elevating the affected arm to reduce swelling, applying a cold compress to alleviate pain and inflammation, and monitoring the site for signs of infection. If the swelling persists or worsens, it may be necessary to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and potential intervention. Over-the-counter pain relievers can also help manage discomfort. If there are signs of a serious reaction, such as severe pain, redness, or fever, seek medical attention immediately.

Is swollen vein and arm pain 4 days after IV hydration something of concern?
I have the exact same problem, only its been a week and half since i got my IV injections. Apparently after you receive IV injections your vein may become swollen due to the fluid medication irritating the walls of the vein or because your vein is just naturally really thin. Its called Phlebitis if I'm not mistaken. Anyway. I've read a lot about it and apparently It's not dangerous but takes a long time to go away. (some people say 3-8 weeks) Placing heat on it or even something cold helps the inflammation.It shouldn't be serious, and yes you will feel some pain around the area. However, if you experience fever, severe pain, your arm get very swollen or any other out of the ordinary symptoms the vein may be infected and you must see you doctor Immediately!!Hope this helps, best of luck on it...hopefully mine gets better soon.
