I'm just wondering if it's okay to drink milk after having chicken. I'm pregnant and I've heard mixed things about it. Are there any side effects I should be worried about? Is it safe for me and the baby?

The symptoms your mother is experiencing are concerning and require medical attention.

Possible Causes

  1. Phlebitis: Inflammation of the vein caused by the cannula, which can lead to pain, swelling, and discoloration.
  2. Thrombophlebitis: A blood clot in the vein, which can cause pain, swelling, and warmth in the affected area.
  3. Infection: Bacterial infection at the site of the cannula, which can cause pain, swelling, redness, and pus.

Immediate Action Required

  1. Consult her doctor: Reach out to her doctor or the hospital where the cannula was inserted to report the symptoms.
  2. Seek emergency care: If her doctor is unavailable, consider taking her to the emergency room or urgent care for evaluation and treatment.

Preliminary Care

  1. Apply warmth: Apply a warm compress to the affected area to help reduce pain and swelling.
  2. Elevate the hand: Elevate her hand above the level of her heart to reduce swelling.
  3. Monitor for worsening symptoms: Keep a close eye on her symptoms and seek immediate medical attention if they worsen.
