Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your pain might be because of extravasation of the fluid during placement of catheter outside the vein. Swelling is also due to accumulation of that extravasation fluid.

Tratment is ice fomentation, strict limb elevation. Tab diclofenac 50 mg twice a day is for pain relief. Tab chymoral forte twice a day is for reduction of swelling. It has to be taken before meals. This will resolve in few days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jayesh Vaza
