What Causes Swelling In Arm And Vomiting After Drawing Blood?
I donated plasma yesterday and during the blood return my arm began to swell. The phlebotomist stated she had to stop it because it had actually infutrated. Afterwards I was sick, weak and vomiting. Today a day later, I m still weak, there s a knot at the site and its very sore. Do I need to see a MD?

Hello
Yes you need to have a doctor evaluate this situation.
The area is probably infected and you'll need a course of antibiotics for it,
You should be fine after you've had the antibiotic course
