A member asked:
6 days ago during birth, hospital inserted iv for antibiotics, at one of the failed insertion site there's bruise area that's larger now, what s/ i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bruising after IV: This common occurrence, unfortunately, is part of IV insertions. In most cases these bruises will age and heal without any difficulty. If the area is hot, tender or increasing in size then you do need to be seen urgently.
