Suggest Remedies For A Painful Lump At The Anticubital Site After Blood Donation
My husband attempted to donate blood today, they only got ~ 60ml due to pain, bruising. Now his anticubital site has a lump the size of an egg, if a little larger. It is painful, not too discolored. Anything to be concerned about? Just let it resolve on its own? Ice? Elevatin?

Hello,
The symptoms of your husband seem to be related to the injection.
I suggest to use cold compresses in the area of the injection and use Ibuprofen for the pain.
I also recommend the elevation of the arm.
The symptoms will go away on its own in a few days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
