Taken Cisplatin And Blood Transfusion. Swelling, Redness, Hardness On Wrist. Pains When Touched. Will Thrombofob Help?
i had two units of blood transfusion on a day and the next day i was given Cisplatin and RL through the same channel which was done on the junction of the wrist. I have some swelling, redness and hardness on the wrist area. It pains when touched but the pain is not radiating in the upper part of the arm. I have been applying Thrombofob ointment and cold compress. Will the pain and redness go with this?

hello
welcome to healthcare magic forum .
thank you for your query .
it look like it is inflammation due to channel inserted .
it is red ,hot and painful .
the treatment you are doing is good
it will take 4-5 days to skin to be normal
there is nothing to worry about it
do not put your hand in dependent position
better to consult doctor about it
i hope i answered your query .
