Interestingly, one occasional feature of this trope, having the affected part throb in rhythm to a heartbeat sound, is somewhat TruthInTelevision, since inflammation works by dilating blood vessels (including arteries) to let white blood cells, clotting factors and other things associated with healing injuries and infections into the site, it may be possible to feel a stronger pulse through an area that’s become swollen.

This is an [[AmusingInjuries amusing injury]] that usually occurs in a ZanyCartoon. A character's body part (commonly hands and fingers) gets injured in some way such as receiving a CrushingHandshake, dropping something on their foot, getting hit on the nose, hitting their finger with the hammer while hammering in a nail (the latter of which is common in old-style cartoons), and many other ways, then their body part will turn red (or in rare cases purple) and start throbbing and swelling.

Some body parts this can happen with include, but are not limited to, are hands, [[{{Fingore}} fingers]], [[TongueTrauma tongues]], [[NasalTrauma noses]], [[AgonyOfTheFeet feet]], toes, limbs, and [[EarAche ears]].

This is usually PlayedForLaughs. This is almost never done in live-action works, as the throbbing is often exaggerated in animated/cartoon works.

A sister-trope to CranialEruption and sub-trope of EditorialSynesthesia. Compare HeartBeatsOutOfChest and CrossPoppingVeins. Not to be confused with RedRightHand.

Said hand turns red and starts briefly throbbing from the heat of Nami's fever.
