I am in 2nd trimester. Due to iron tablet intolerance my doctor suggest me to take orofer s 200 injection weekly. This time when a nurse injected this medicine into my hand vein (front side of elbow), the area became swollen and painful. I told my doctor about this and she gave me phlebotroy to apply on the affected area. Now it is 15 days after applying phlebotroy but still I have pain in hand and 6 centimeters of that area is brown red color and .when I touch my hand on the affected area it feels like veins are swollen and hard. Please help me.
