How To Cure Pain And Swelling On The Right Arm At The Sight Of Blood Drawn?

Hi I went to the clinic this morning at 8:30 to get blood drawn, by the time I got out to the front desk, I was feeling a throbbing pain above my elbow on my right arm. When I looked I had a lump the size of an gumball. I showed the lady at the front desk and she quickly called a nurse. The nurse came and said just to put ice for the swelling can go down. It is 11:05 pm and I still have the lump and my arm is hurting. Is this normal.

Pain and swelling on right arm at sight of blood drawn can be treated with thrombophob gel.U can apply the gel at the site of pain twice daily.
Also u can take paracetamol tablets twice daily for 3 days along with cold compression which will reduce your lump.
