Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your mentioned history suggestive of hematoma formation or swelling because of misplaced needle from vein. You can apply ice over affected area. If thrombophlebitis is associated, than Thrombophob gel can be applied over that. You can discuss these with your treating doctor.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
