What is the treatment for swelling at an IV site?

Treatment for swelling at an IV site typically involves removing the IV catheter to prevent further irritation or damage. The area should be assessed for signs of infection or infiltration, and if necessary, a warm or cold compress may be applied to reduce swelling and discomfort. Elevating the affected limb can also help decrease swelling. If there are signs of infection, appropriate medical intervention, such as antibiotics, may be required.
