How To Treat Anxiety?

My brother was injecting meth Friday night and skipped a vein. Now 4 days later he calls. I ve got him on Tylenol pm because his arm is so swollen he has stretch marks from this. It is his right arm and it s swollen like a sausage ready to explode. The skin has cracked and is leaking. I put on Hydrogen peroxide and no white foam appeared. He is in terrible pain and has extreme anxiety as he says its going towards his heart. When do I know when it s time to take him to the E.R.? He s been this way 4 days. His BP was normal but sugar was 330 - normal for him since he won t go to dr.

You should visit a doctor soon as his sugar levelis high. Will delay the healing of wound. Most probably he is having localized absess as injection is subcutaneous. Go to the doctor. Hope my answer cleared your doubt. Take care of him
