What kind of cold or hot water should I use if I have a fall?

Precautions for bruises, sprains, and falls:

1. Don't twist casually.

When people sprain their limbs, they often involuntarily turn or massage, but many times casual twisting will aggravate the symptoms of the injured part, especially before the exact diagnosis is made, and the sprained part should not be moved casually. If it's a limb, raise your wrist so that your blood can flow smoothly. The right way is this::

If you have an upper arm fracture, it's best to put your arm at heart level, and if you have a lower limb, raise your leg above knee level.

2. Do not apply hot compresses, but cold compresses.

Many of us will take a hot towel and put it on the painful part after a fall and sprain, feeling that it will be more comfortable, but this practice is not right, because the capillary bleeding, the hot compress makes his blood vessels further dilate, the hematoma is more severe, and the healing will be slow in the future, if he is a fracture, then it can not be hot. Cold compresses can control capillary bleeding. Therefore, it is also important to apply a warm compress to the injured area, and if you feel that the pain is unbearable, you can use ice cubes to apply a cold compress.

3. Apply safflower oil.

When a capillary ruptures, applying safflower oil will increase blood flow and make the swelling worse. In the acute phase of the injury, that is, within 24 hours, if you use safflower oil to rub it, it will aggravate the blood exudation of the injured site and aggravate the swelling, so the use of safflower oil must be 24 hours after the injury, and it should not be used for patients with ulceration or allergies.

4. Paste bruise ointment.

The bruising cream can allow the drug to penetrate quickly through the human body, produce blood and qi, and relax tendons and knots. However, if a fracture has already occurred in the sprain, applying a plaster will only temporarily relieve the superficial symptoms, and the fractured area will not grow well, and it is easy to misalign and eventually cause bone deformity.

Apply ice water first, and then hot water after two to three minutes to remove the swelling. Ice water is to prevent further rupture of capillaries, and hot water is to dredge blood water.

A cold compress stops internal bleeding within 24 hours, and a hot compress accelerates the absorption of exudate after 24 hours.

Don't put plasters on wounds - you'll be allergic!

It works especially well with ice - that's how the national teams use it!

Don't apply hot compresses and touch them, as the injured area will only be more red and swollen, but it will be half the effort!

Apply a cold compress within 24 hours, and a warm compress after 24 hours.

Pain relief is made with ice...

It is made with hot water to promote blood circulation and remove stasis

You're bruised, swollen and painful... Dedicated bone-setting medicine on the line... Use ice when it hurts, and the hot compress is still free...

Correct answer: Do not use time to decide whether hot and cold compresses, but to see whether there is redness and swelling, whether it is locally hot, whether it is more painful when the body temperature rises, and the above should not be hot. (For example, I strained, the pain was mild in the first two days, and the pain was red and swollen on the third day, and the cold compress reduced the pain, but it definitely didn't work with a hot compress) so the doctor said that 24 hours was not right.

For foot sprains, cold compresses can be applied within 24 hours, and after 24 hours, it is recommended that you apply a hot compress to the affected area, take oral blood and relieve pain capsules**, and do not exercise vigorously.

Problem analysis: Hello, in the early stage of sprain, the ruptured small blood vessels are bleeding, at this time, cold compresses can be used to make the blood vessels constrict and coagulate, and control the development 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.

Suggestions: Correctly press 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.

Be sure to use cold water to reduce swelling and relieve pain.

After a sprained foot, is it better to apply cold or hot compresses? This is a situation-by-case scenario, so don't mess with it.

It depends.

Cold compresses on wound tissues without breaking the skin can reduce pain and edema, and reduce post-traumatic inflammatory reactions. After 72 hours, the hot compress will promote blood circulation, the swelling will subside, the recovery will be accelerated, and the pain will be reduced.

If there is a broken skin, it should be disinfected, bandaged and treated to stop bleeding, and seek medical attention in time.

Hot and cold compresses are both physical**, but they have very different effects. Blood is hot and alive, and cold is coagulated. Therefore, cold compresses should be applied when the ruptured blood vessel is still bleeding to control the progression of the injury. Wait until the bleeding has stopped before applying a warm compress to dissipate the bruising around the wound.

How do you know if the bleeding has stopped? In principle, it is 24 hours after the injury, and the following points can also be referred to: first, the pain and swelling tend to stabilize and no longer continue to aggravate; Second, there is little difference in the feeling of swelling when raising and lowering the affected foot; Third, the temperature of the wound ** has changed from slightly higher than the normal part to quite similar, which can be used as the basis for the cessation of bleeding.

After a bruise, you need to apply both hot and cold compresses, but this is in order. For the first two days after a bump, a topical cold compress is applied to reduce local tissue oozing and tissue edema. After two days, the local compress was changed to a warm compress, which is to promote the absorption of hematoma and the absorption of tissue edema.

After the injury, you should not eat spicy food or drink alcohol-rich beverages. Eat more high-quality protein, such as fish and shrimp, and eat more vitamin-rich foods, such as fruits and vegetables. Drink more water and rest more.

Where there is a bump, minimize activity to facilitate recovery. At the same time, the bumped area should not be exposed to the sun, otherwise it will cause pigmentation and affect the appearance.

After the fall, take cold compress or hot compress, there is a time limit, generally within the first three days of the fall, this stage is in the acute stage, this stage is the need for cold compress, through the cold compress, can reduce internal bleeding, can also prevent the aggravation of edema, generally three days after the fall, you need to take the way of hot compress, this stage of hot compress can promote the absorption of congestion, help edema disappear. In the acute phase of the fall, that is, within 24 hours, when a cold compress is required, to prevent edema of the fallen area, a hot compress should be applied after 24 hours of the fall, to promote local blood circulation, to promote the absorption of edema, if the hot compress is carried out within 24 hours, it will aggravate the swelling of the fall area, but it is not good.

If the injured part of the fall is not broken, a warm compress should be applied. The temperature of the injured part of the body rises, the blood circulation speed increases, the blood flow increases, the extra nutrients enter the pain area, the metabolism of the injured part is accelerated and the phagocytic function of white blood cells is strengthened. This relieves pain, soothes muscles and bones, and stops bleeding.

Warm compresses are applied to the injured area where there is no visible wound, but only pain and bruising, not an acute injury.

Cold compress is to reduce the temperature of the injured area, so that the degree of tissue injury can be relieved, and the chance of wound inflammation can be reduced. It also reduces muscle spasms, improves blood flow, and relieves pain.

For acute injuries, which are generally caused by the wound being exposed to the air, it is best to use cold compresses, while hot compresses will only increase the pain and may also cause inflammation of the wound itself.

The key to ice compress is to reduce the temperature of some parts of the human body, tighten the blood vessels of the subcutaneous tissues, reduce part of the blood circulation system, reduce the translucent working ability of blood vessels, and achieve the actual effect of reducing basal metabolism, blood circulation and swelling. In addition, cold compresses can relieve muscle spasms caused by injuries and prevent secondary damage to tissue cells.

Applying heat is to make the body's body temperature rise, release pressure from blood vessels, improve part of the blood circulation system, accelerate the metabolic rate of the injured position, let the inflammatory substances be discharged quickly, and improve the self-healing ability of tissues. In addition, applying heat can also loosen the human body, improve the extensibility of soft tissues, reduce the probability of joint muscle stiffness and muscle spasm, and achieve the practical effect of relieving pain and releasing stress.

Ice or heat can often be effective, but if not applied correctly, it can make the injury more serious and cause new damage. For example, if the cold compress is too long, the tissue is very easy to die due to frostbite; Applying heat immediately after the foot bare will make the bare foot more painful and swollen; The compression temperature is too high, causing ** burns, etc.

Ice or heat after a fall.

The chance of applying ice or heat should be based on the specific situation of the human body, and cannot be calculated based only on the time after the injury. In general, cold compresses are used in cases of subacute inflammation or injury that have just been injured, and heat is applied after the acute symptoms of diffuse inflammation or injury have passed.

To put it simply, if there is significant redness, swelling, heat, pain, or an established subacute fitness exercise impairment in the sore area, cold compresses should be used. When the inflammation or injury is no longer swollen or reddened and feverish, it is possible to apply heat.

It is best not to apply cold or heat for more than 20 minutes. Places with less body fat, such as bare feet, knee joints, and elbows, should be reduced on this basis, and often inquired. People with sensitive or slow tactile nerves (such as diabetic and stroke patients), and patients with abnormal circulatory system function, should be especially careful when applying cold and heat.

If the human body has an open wound, or is sensitive to temperature, cold and heat compresses should be prevented.

I think it should be a cold compress. Hello, after ruling out the fracture, for the occurrence of local soft tissue injury, you can first apply a cold compress, and then a hot compress after 48 hours. It is recommended that you take targeted measures under the guidance of the treating doctor, while maintaining hygiene and cleanliness and regular life, drinking more water, strengthening nutrition, diversifying the diet, balancing meat and vegetables, exercising appropriately, and improving the body's resistance.

Condition analysis of the top three: The first step should be to go to the hospital to take a ** to see if there is a local fracture, if there is no fracture. You can apply a cold compress to reduce local exudate and swelling, and if the swelling is still obvious after 72 hours, you can consider applying a warm compress to promote local exudate absorption.

In this case, you should go to the hospital for examination, rule out the fracture before treatment, there is no need to inject tetanus, antitoxin should be treated according to the situation.

When carrying out outdoor activities, it is inevitable to encounter injuries, such as muscle strains, falls, joint pain, etc., which are common things in sports. Let's introduce to you the difference between cold compresses and hot compresses and the scope of application.

The cold compress is mainly to reduce the local temperature of the body, constrict the blood vessels under the skin, reduce the local blood circulation, reduce the permeability of the blood vessels, and achieve the effect of reducing metabolism, hemostasis and swelling. In addition, ice can also reduce muscle spasms caused by injuries and avoid secondary injury to tissue cells.

The hot compress raises the body temperature, relaxes the blood vessels, increases local blood circulation, accelerates the metabolism of the injured part, allows the inflammatory substances to be discharged quickly, and improves the self-healing ability of tissues. In addition, warm compresses can also soften the body, increase the ductility of soft tissues, reduce the chance of joint stiffness and muscle spasms, and achieve the effect of soothing pain and relaxing emotions.

Whether cold or hot, it can be a pain reliever, but if used incorrectly, it can make the injury worse or even cause new injuries. For example, if the ice is applied for too long, the tissues are prone to necrosis due to frostbite; Applying a warm compress immediately after a sprained foot can make the ankle more painful and swollen. The temperature of the hot compress is too high, resulting in **burns, etc.

The timing of cold or hot compresses is based on the actual condition of the body, and cannot be calculated based on the time after the injury. In general, ice is applied to acute inflammation or injury, while heat is applied to chronic inflammation or injury after the acute phase.

To put it simply, if there is significant redness, swelling, heat, pain in the sore part of the body, or if there is a definite acute sports injury, ice should be used. When the inflamed or injured area is no longer swollen or red and hot, a warm compress can be used.

It is best not to apply ice or heat for more than 20 minutes. Areas of the body with less fat, such as ankles, knees, and elbows, should be applied for a shorter period of time and checked frequently. People with sensitive or dull sensory nerves (e.g., diabetic, stroke) and patients with abnormal circulatory function should be extra cautious when applying ice and heat.

If the body has an open wound, or if it is particularly sensitive to temperature, ice and heat should be avoided.

Do you apply cold or hot compresses after a sports injury? The above has explained to everyone, cold compresses and hot compresses have good pain-relieving effects, but if they are used in the wrong order, instead of helping the external injury**, it will cause greater damage.
