What Causes Pain And Burning Sensation After Vaccination?
my 8 year old daughter has had severaL IV'S never with a problem but her last 2 hospital stays she has screamed and cried that her veins felt hot and were burning...even when they put a brand new IV in it burned and now almost two weeks later she still has pain when relaxing and when lifting things. What could cause this and how do I fix it? she needs to have an MRI with contrast but we are scared that the IV will hurt her

HI..sometimes pyrogens in the IV fluid or drug which is being injected can cause this and as such it is the inherent property of some of the IV drugs to be causing this effect when not diluted to the prescrib3ed extent. The other possibility is that the line would have been there in the already inflamed vessel wall region which could have caused this.
