Does anyone know how to get better quickly if you have a strained foot

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.

If you have a strained or sprained foot, you can't do activities like running! Get plenty of rest. Apply cold water or ice for 24 hours, and then switch to hot water.

Some anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken orally, or rubbed with safflower oil topically. Don't be in a hurry. Depending on the situation, it will be fine in more than ten days.

There is no way to get better quickly, only to recover slowly. Pay attention to maintenance.

If not severe, apply a cold compress after the injury; Some topical drugs such as safflower oil can be used appropriately, and voltarin sprays can also be used. You can take voltarin or fenpid. Don't move again until you're good.

If it's serious, be sure to go to the hospital.

What to do after an ankle sprain? It is common for some people to first rub the swollen area vigorously to break up the accumulated blood; This is followed by a hot towel to promote blood circulation and reduce swelling; In the end, I endured the pain and walked and moved. However, practice has proved that this is inappropriate, because after the rupture and bleeding of local small blood vessels, a hematoma will form, and it generally takes about 24 hours to recover and stop bleeding.

If you rub vigorously, apply hot compresses, or force movement immediately after a sprain, it will inevitably accelerate bleeding and oozing while dispersing a part of the blood stasis, and even aggravate the rupture of blood vessels, forming a larger hematoma. What is the correct self-care after an ankle sprain? Clause.

First, it is necessary 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.

Clause. 2. Use hot 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. Clause.

3. 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.

Strain or menstruation, generally speaking, it is necessary to consume enough potassium and calcium from the aspect of diet; from the exercise itself, it is necessary to warm up, and also pay attention not to overexercise to cause muscle strain, and the post-treatment is generally 24 hours of ice, and after 24 hours, hot compress can generally be effectively relieved.

1.Pay attention to calcium supplementation: During puberty, calcium will be relatively deficient, which is more likely to cause cramps.

2.If you are prone to cramps when you sleep at night, stretch on the cramp-prone area before going to bed.
