Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
The pain that you are complaining of, is likely to be due to thrombophlebitis, an inflammation of the veins which often occurs after IV cannulation. Interestingly enough the IV cannulation for administration of antibiotics (that caused the thrombophlebitis) have no role in viral infections as antibiotics do nothing to viruses and irrespective of their use the infection gets controlled in the same time duration.
You may apply Thrombophob gel or Hirudoid gel over the area and the pain should gradually go away. You can also apply ice. It will take time. If you still want to visit a doctor, visiting your local GP should suffice.
Apply hot compress over the side of your body that is paining. It is likely to be due to muscle fatigue. If it persists, it might be a good idea to get your thyroid profile checked.
