My age is 34. I am 8-months pregnant. I have cervical incompetence. In my 33 weeks, the doctor administered steroid injection. 24-hour duration 1 injection is given. I have taken two injections. My hemoglobin was less . it was 10.00. Doctor-administered the injection to improve the hemoglobin in my body. It was given through Intravenous Medication. I found swelling and severe pain at my wrist now(where IV set was administered). I have contacted my doctor. She advised Thrombohob Ointment. I have applied this 24hours back, still, my pain and swelling are not cured. I am doing ice cube therapy also. Can I use Thrombohob Jel? Is there any painkiller tablet ? kindly help me .
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. For the pain and swelling in the vein, you can use thrombophobe ointment, along with paracetamol tablets. It will give you relief. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
