Hello and welcome to\" Ask a Doctor\" service. I have read your query. It is not necessary to rush to the ER, your wife may use paracetamol or ibuprofen for the pain. In the incoming days she should get evaluated further for that dilated vein. Temporal arthritis is a condition to consider. Discuss with the primary care Doctor for these issues. Hope you found the answer helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
