My daughter (4.8 years, 25.5 kgs) needs to get a sample collected for CBC and other tests. How can I apply Topical cream on her hand to ease her needle insertion pain?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Toplap (numbing) cream can help reduce needle pain for your child. Apply a thick layer (like toothpaste) on the area where the blood will be drawn (usually the front of the elbow) about 45 to 60 minutes before the test. Cover it with plastic wrap or a waterproof dressing to enhance absorption. Remove the cream just before the blood draw and clean the area. Let the lab staff know you have applied the cream for smooth handling during the test.

View allI am suffering from a very minor fever-like tendency for about a week. It goes away with PCM and sometimes without taking it. The temperature is very minor and gives a normal reading, but I feel very inactive because of it. I did my routine health check up 2 weeks ago and the blood report was quite normal. I do not know what has caused this problem?
