Suggest Medication For Swelling In The Arms After A Blood Transfusion

I had a blood transfusion on Wednesday night. I came home from hospital Thursday evening. Last night I woke up with my arm swollen above where the I’ve went in. It fells like it has been tied off for blood it is swollen, pink and hot. I am putting ice on it 10-14 minutes at a time every couple of hours. What else can I do?
