Penguin,: She has localized phlebitis, it should not hurt. If it does, she needs antibiotics.

Not in danger.: When a needle is inserted or removed from a vein there could be a small amount of bleeding around the needle insertion site and this is called a hematoma.. This will cause a lump. This will resolve over 7 to10 days. Applying heat will help. This is not dangerous.
