What about phlebitis? What should I pay attention to?
Phlebitis is a very common disease, which belongs to a kind of venous disease. Simply put, it is venous inflammation caused by some factors, such as venous irritation, high drug concentration, bacterial infection and so on.

How to do with phlebitis? First of all, we have to find out what is the cause of phlebitis and what kind of phlebitis we have, so that we can prescribe the right medicine.

Phlebitis is mainly divided into four types according to different causes, namely mechanical phlebitis, chemical phlebitis, bacterial phlebitis and thrombophlebitis.

Among them, mechanical phlebitis is mostly caused by improper puncture or repeated puncture, chemical phlebitis is caused by insufficient drug dilution and high solute concentration, which damages the intima of blood vessels and makes drugs penetrate into the skin, bacterial phlebitis is caused by dust and debris entering the blood, and thrombophlebitis is caused by vascular endothelial injury.

If it is thrombophlebitis, patients can take some Chinese patent medicines for promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain, such as Mailuo Shutong Pill/Granule, which has a good effect on treating thrombophlebitis.

If it is mechanical or chemical phlebitis, the patient should pull out the venous indwelling needle at the first time, change the puncture site, pay attention to the drug concentration and slow down the infusion speed. The inflamed area can be hot compressed, and the symptoms will get better after a few days.

If it is bacterial phlebitis, it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice and carry out anti-infection treatment.
