Problem description: What should I do if my foot is swollen?

Zhang Yi, Deputy Chief Physician.

Wuhan Puren Hospital.

The swelling of the foot is shown after the triple, and the following can be treated:

Clause. First, early immobilization of the foot can avoid further aggravation of the injured foot, and at the same time can reduce swelling and pain.

Clause. 2. Cold compress for the wound in the early stage, you can use frozen mineral water or ice cube towels for cold compress, which can play an early role in relieving pain, stopping bleeding and reducing swelling.

Clause. 3. In the early stage, Yunnan Baiyao aerosol was used to spray the wound, which can also play a role in reducing swelling and stopping bleeding.

Clause. 4. Oral drugs**, oral pain-relieving drugs can be taken in the early stage, such as meloxicam and celecoxib, and after the acute stage, oral drugs that promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, such as Panlong Qi Tablets and Daqili Capsules, also have a good effect on swelling.

Clause. Fifth, it is to carry out physical **, after the acute stage, microwave physiotherapy or far-infrared physiotherapy can be carried out, which can also play a role in reducing swelling.

Within 24 hours, cold compress is used to constrict blood vessels, reduce swelling and relieve pain. Apply an ice pack or cold washcloth to the affected area for 15 minutes every 6 hours. After 24 hours, a warm compress is applied to promote local blood circulation, accelerate the dissipation of blood stasis around the wound, and reduce pain.

As soon as the injury occurs, do not apply plasters. It will have to wait 24 hours. This is because human tissues are inflammatory when they are damaged by external forces.

A large amount of fluid leaks from the blood vessels into the sprain.

Swelling occurs slowly in the area.

This then compresses the nerve and causes pain. This reaction is in.

The peak can be reached within 24 hours.

If you apply a moist analgesic cream during this period.

Its blood-invigorating effect accelerates local blood circulation.

There is also an increase in fluid leaking from the blood vessels.

Local swelling and pain can also worsen. Because the plaster has the effect of invigorating blood and dissipating blood stasis, the plaster after injury cannot achieve the purpose of reducing swelling and relieving pain. Take drugs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as Yunnan Baiyao. Elevate the injured leg as much as possible to promote blood circulation.
