Suggest Treatment Swelling Of Arms
my mother was recently hospitalized with a recurring bout of C-Diff that she acquired while in a rehab facility being treated for osteomyalitis on her foot due tonow, her a diabetic pressure wound. While in the hospital, she received a large amount of fluids by IV at one point the IV in her arm was infiltrated. She swelled up and now her arm is continually weeping. Is there anyway to stop this?

Hi,
There is excess accumulation of fluids in her body. Please get her admitted in a nearby hospital for proper fluid management. If not, it could land up in trouble.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
