I had an I.V. put in yesterday and was administered saline and 25mg of Phenergan over a 4 hour period. The I.V. was taken out after 800CC of saline. My hand is now swollen and there is a red streak along the line of my vein where the medicine went in. The medic that administered it says it's normal. I'm just wondering if I should be concerned. I slept with an ice pack on it last night.

Hi there, it's not a good idea to sleep with an ice pack on your skin because it can get too cold and you can actually cause further problems! I hope that your arm is okay now. Do you still have issues with it? How is your hand doing now? Let me know how everything's going :-)

Hallo,
To be honest with you this is the first time that I have heard to this can happen form the IV. I think that this is very dangerous reaction that indicated that you have some sort of allergy to the saline that they administered your. This can also be induced by drugs that they gave you. What did your doctor tell you about this? How long did you have the swelling in your hands? I know that some side effects are possible but I am not sure how normal is this. I think that you should talk to your doctor. I hope that this helped you in any way.
All the best to you,
Karen
