A doctor has provided 1 answer

Phlebitis: Should put heat pack on this and take a non steroidal anti inflammatory unless contraindicated. As long as this is getting better you are ok, but if it gets worse or you develop fever, or chills or pain extending further up your arm it is time to see someone.
