How to solve the problem of hardening and bulging infusion blood vessels?

Infusion is very common in our daily life, because it can effectively allow drugs to reach the whole body and provide continuous treatment to various disease sites, and the effect is very good. Most diseases can be treated with intravenous infusion. Some people will experience some side effects during infusion. For example, it is common for the infusion blood vessels to become hard and bulge. Let’s take a look at how to solve the problem of hardening and bulging of infusion blood vessels.

Many friends have received intravenous infusions in hospitals or other medical institutions. A few days later, the blood vessels in the superficial skin near the puncture site became hardened and cord-like, accompanied by pain and inability to exert force. This is phlebitis caused by long-term infusion, stimulation from infusion drugs, or contamination of the infusion fluid with microorganisms. Friends who don't understand may worry and become anxious. The following methods can help you or your loved ones to eliminate worries.

In this case, the infusion time is too long, and then the blood vessels become hard and there are lumps. It is considered that the blood vessels are damaged due to the infusion. Generally speaking, change another blood vessel for infusion. You can apply hot compresses. In addition, you can apply some drugs such as Hirudo, which may be helpful. In addition, if the condition permits, try to reduce the infusion. For specific treatment methods, you can refer to the following content:

Tools/Materials: towel, hot water, potato, Hi-Tor, 50% magnesium sulfate, gauze or small cloth

Method/Steps:

1. You can use a towel to apply heat to the affected area at home (avoid applying heat within 24 hours), and be careful of burns.

2. You can cut potatoes into thin slices and apply them to the affected area, but remember, you cannot use sprouted potatoes, as they will produce toxins and bring the risk of poisoning to the wound.

3. If conditions permit, you can pour 50% magnesium sulfate on a piece of gauze or a small piece of cloth for wet compress (if there is swelling, this medicine will be more effective), or you can buy Hirudo ointment from a hospital or pharmacy and apply it to the affected area.

Note:

Since the effect is relatively slow, anxious friends who are really worried can go to the hospital for treatment, or call the medical institution where you received the infusion.
