What should I do now to relieve the pain if I have a sprained foot?

What is the right self-care after an ankle sprain?

First. It is important to distinguish the severity of the injury. Generally speaking, if the pain is not severe when you move your ankle, most of it is a soft tissue injury, and you can treat it yourself.

If you have severe pain when you move your ankle, you cannot stand or move, if you have pain in your bones, if you have a sound when you sprain or if you have rapid swelling after an injury, it is a sign of a fracture and you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

Second. Use heat and cold compresses correctly. Hot and cold compresses are both physical**, but they have very different effects.

Blood is alive when it is hot, and it coagulates when it is cold, so it is advisable to apply cold compresses in the early stage of injury to reduce local hematoma; Applying a warm compress after the bleeding has stopped will speed up the dissipation of bruising around the wound. In general, warm compresses are applied 24 hours after the injury.

Third. Drugs**. The formula is: 30 grams of hibiscus leaves, 10 grams of red adzuki beans, 3 grams of miscanthus powder, ground into fine powder, add honey or white wine to make a paste, apply it to the affected area, and change it once every 2-3 days.

You can also take bruise medicine internally.

Clause. 4. Local massage. Before applying the medicine, you can press and rub the injured foot, and gently rub the injured area with the thumbs of both hands, and the direction of rubbing is from the foot to the calf, which can not only relieve pain but also reduce swelling.

If you get the right treatment at the time, if you get it on the second or third day, it's fine, it's fine, it's just a small sprain. But it sounds.

You haven't been well for a week, so pay attention, then you may have a fracture or a torn ligament, and you should see a doctor. Or you can apply some plaster products and drugs appropriately, and use the plaster that is used by the public, such as Korean Lengba, etc., to apply the plaster to the sore area. Or you can apply some peanut oil to your hands and slowly massage the sore area.

Hope mine can help you, I wish you a speedy **.

Problem description: What medicine to take to reduce inflammation and relieve pain when the foot is twisted (male, 43 years old).

Analysis: Ankle sprain treatment: First, rest to reduce further damage to the ankle joint.

Second, apply ice, which lowers the local temperature to reduce inflammation and muscle spasms, and applies ice for 10-20 minutes each time, more than 3 times a day. Be careful not to stick ice cubes directly to ** to avoid frostbite**. Ice is limited to 48 hours after injury.

Third, compression, you can use a special ankle elastic sports brace, proper compression can reduce swelling, but be careful not to be too tight, so as not to bruise and swell the feet. Fourth, the ankle joint can be elevated, higher than the heart position. After 3 to 5 days after the injury, you can gradually bear weight and exercise joint movement.

If the swelling of the ankle joint is particularly severe, the time of movement can be appropriately extended.

Patients with sprained feet can be treated with cold compresses, hot compresses, and medications to reduce swelling and relieve pain.

1. Cold compress: within 24 hours of foot sprain, first apply cold compress or ice compress, put crushed ice and cold water, put it in a water bag, apply it to the injured part, about 20 minutes, and apply it again every four hours, so as to facilitate vasoconstriction, reduce bleeding, and play a role in reducing swelling and relieving pain.

2. Hot compress: 24 hours after the foot sprain, you can apply hot compress every day. You can use a hot towel to apply a local hot compress, or you can use a Chinese medicine pack to invigorate blood, boiled and applied to the affected area, so as to promote blood circulation and reduce edema.

3. Drugs: Oral administration of some drugs to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis and reduce swelling to reduce the swelling and pain of the feet. For example, when the pain is very obvious after a foot sprain, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, such as Fenpidex extended-release capsules; Anti-edema medications, such as escin sodium for injection, can effectively relieve edema; Chinese patent medicine includes Mailuo Shutong Pill, which can effectively dispel blood and stasis, and can effectively combat swelling and congestion after foot sprains.

This is good for details, and it is so slow to do well in winter First, immediately brake for swelling and pain relief and infection spread. 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.

2. Improve blood circulation in the wound, reduce inflammation and swelling, and accelerate the removal of congestion. 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 **.

In daily life, it is common for the foot to be sprained due to careless walking, what should I do about it?

1. Distinguish the severity of the injury. If you can stand with weight and barely walk after a foot sprain, it means that the sprain is mild and you can deal with it yourself; If you have severe pain in the ankle after the foot sprain, you can't stand or move with weight, press the painful place on the bone, and gradually swell, it means that the bone may be sprained, and you should go to the hospital immediately for radiographic treatment.

2. Use hot and cold compresses correctly. In the early stages of a sprain, a small ruptured blood vessel is bleeding, and a cold compress can be applied to constrict the blood vessel and coagulate to control the progression of the injury. After 24 hours, the bleeding from the ruptured vessel stops, at which point a warm compress can be applied to help the bruising around the sprain dissipate.

3. Correctly press and knead the sprained part. In the early stage of sprain, it is better to do continuous pressing on the hematoma; After 24 hours, the kneading method is done, centering on the swollen area and rubbing in all directions around it.

Fourth, the appropriate implementation of activities. In the early stages of a sprain, swelling and pain gradually worsen, and the affected limb should be elevated. After the condition stabilizes, as long as it is not painful, you can gradually increase the activity of the foot and ankle.

5. Rational use of drugs. In the early stage of sprain, there is no need to take internal medicine, and it is not advisable to apply drugs that invigorate blood externally, so as not to have more blood flow and greater swelling. After 24 hours, take some Yunnan Baiyao, bone-setting pills, blood circulation and pain relief, and then apply Wuhu Dan externally, and after the swelling is reduced, there is no need to take internal and external medicines.

6. If the sprain hurts the bone, after the doctor puts a plaster cast, you must pay attention:

1. Within about a few minutes of putting on the cast, you can't move the affected foot casually. Because the gypsum has not yet hardened at this time, it is easy to deform.

2. Within the first 24 hours of applying the plaster, attention should be paid to the tightness of the plaster.

3. After the foot is put on the plaster, it is generally not suitable to walk on the ground.

4. In summer, the foot should be placed in a cool place to prevent excessive foot sweat and accumulation in the plaster.

5. In winter, when applying a plaster, pay attention to keeping the affected limb warm, and do not frostbite the foot outside the plaster.

6. If the pain worsens after the cast, you should ask a doctor for examination in time.

Pound the ginger and apply it to the affected area several times a day to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.

The following is how to deal with a sprained foot.

Injury fixation and support**After a sprain, you first need to go to the hospital for X-ray to rule out whether there is a fracture, if there is a fracture, you need to wear a cast or wear a brace for at least a month, and the next time you can raise yourself in bed to promote swelling, you can take oral calcium tablets to promote fracture healing.

After surgery, the injury is fixed**, if there is no fracture, there will generally be ligament injury, at this time it is recommended to do MRI to see if the ligament is seriously damaged, rupture, if there is a rupture, surgical repair is required, if the ligament injury is not serious, it is also recommended that the patient wear a brace or a cast. At least three weeks automatically, let the ligaments recover the process, at this time the foot will start to swell, so you also need to stay in bed and elevate the lower limbs, and then the swelling gradually subsides, you can help the crutches to move on the ground, but the injured foot can not touch the ground.

After the foot is sprained, stop all ongoing movements, apply intermittent cold compresses locally for 48 hours to reduce local swelling, and choose hot compresses according to the specific situation after 48 hours of injury**. Elevate half a child and do not get out of bed and walk, and oral anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs can be taken.

Use bone injury drugs that reduce swelling and relieve pain, relieve muscles and activate blood**, promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain.

Hold it with cool water or touch the egg white to the swollen area.
