    If you feel unwell, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up.

    If you strain, you can massage yourself, and you can also use safflower oil and other medicines to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Also, don't catch a cold anymore, it's good to soak in more hot baths. It's best to rest for a while before getting better. Don't be too aggressive when resuming training, just take it easy.

    Generally, muscle strains may be caused by exerting too much force or exercising without warming up. Therefore, you must warm up before exercising, and it is best to warm up a little more. Rest or rest, don't move your legs if you have a leg strain, just train your upper limbs.

    Massage may be better, but there is no specific medicine for strains, only to allow the muscles to recover slowly. This kind of injury can't come in a hurry. Even the team doctor of the European club also advises the injured personnel in the team to recuperate.

    Only conditioning. Hope it helps.
