How To Treat A Vein Swelling And Pain?
Hello I am having pain on the actual vein that runs up over the bone behind my ear. I can tell it s a blood vessel because I can actually feel it due to swelling. It doesn t hurt unless I press on the bone where the vein runs over it. Possible high blood pressure problem? Would an aspirin help.
