Check for fractures immediately after a sprain, and if not, brake the injury to avoid accelerated congestion and swelling. Then apply a cold washcloth or ice cube soaked in cold water to the sprained area every three to four hours for 20 to 30 minutes, or with medication**

    Mix raw gardenia and flour with egg white, wet compress the swollen area, compress and bandage, and change once a day. Whether it is a drug** or a cold compress**, it can be used in the early stage of a sprain to relieve pain and inhibit and reduce swelling, and the operation method is relatively simple, and it is no longer used after two to three days of sprain. In particular, it should be noted that the color of the sprain should be often observed when applying cold compresses, if it turns purple and blue, and feels numb, it means venous blood stasis, and the cold compress must be stopped immediately, otherwise it will hinder the nutrition and oxygen, reduce the resistance of cells, and cause tissue necrosis in severe cases.

After two to three days of wet or cold compress with the drug, the sprained vascular wound has coagulated, at this time, in order to promote blood circulation and stasis and prevent the formation of adhesions in the wound, the method of hot compress can be used**. Soak a towel in warm water at 40 to 50 degrees Celsius for a short time, and apply a hot compress to the sprained area (do not burn) for 15 to 20 minutes every 3 to 4 hours.

    During the hot compress, the use of internal Chinese herbal medicine, cupping, massage and other methods to cooperate**, especially during the massage period is extremely important. However, the massage technique should be light to heavy, from the area around the injury to the local. The first few massages of the injured area must be light.

    3. Soften or separate the adhesions that may form and promote the recovery of function of the sprained area. When the swelling and tenderness of the wound have been eliminated, but the movement still feels slight pain, and the joint movement is weak, at this time, the muscle strength and joint activity function of the sprain can be exercised.

    The amount of exercise should be gradual, especially the first few exercises should not be too large. At the same time as the functional exercise of the injured part, attention should also be paid to massage, hot compress and Chinese herbal fumigation to accelerate the effect of **. ]
