Today morning my wife had gone through blood test in which executive prick in hand for taking sample. After taking the samples the area is fully swollen and it's very much paining.she is unable to move hand. Please help me in this regard asap.
Your wife should apply ice cubes wrapped in cloth over the painful area 3 to 4 times a day. Usually the pain is due to spilled blood inside the skin which will naturally go away in 4 to 5 days. If it is still swollen or blackened after 4 to 5 days, go to your physician for further treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
