Is it right to apply a plaster immediately after a sports sprain?

Do not move at first, then apply ice, and then apply a plaster after 24 hours.

Generally speaking, the composition of the plaster for sprains is not the same, and the length of time and duration of the effect are also different.

A typical plaster can be changed every 6 to 8 hours, and some strong plasters can be changed every 24 to 36 hours. For details, you can take a detailed look at the instructions of the drug.

If there are symptoms of allergy to the topical plaster, it is necessary to stop the medication immediately. Be sure to pay attention to rest and avoid premature exercise, so as not to affect **, especially to eat less spicy raw and cold food, do not eat beef, seafood and other hair products.

Generally, it can be torn off in one day, and there is a special plaster for a week.

Once the plaster is pasted, it generally needs to be replaced in time after 24 hours. If the time is too long, it will affect the metabolism of **, and there will be some itching or allergies and other abnormal manifestations.

1. The main function of the plaster is to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain, but it is only an auxiliary, if the sprain is severe, you still need to take anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs, with plasters.

2. After the foot is sprained, in the case of no damage, immediately apply a cold compress or rinse the affected area with cold water to constrict the blood vessels, which can reduce the swelling and pain.

3. After a sprained foot, no plaster can be applied within 24 hours. Due to the inflammatory reaction of human tissues after external damage, a large amount of fluid leaks out of the blood vessels, and the local swelling slowly appears, which then compresses the nerves and causes pain. This reaction can reach its peak within 24 hours, and if a plaster is applied during this period, its blood-invigorating effect will accelerate local blood circulation and increase the amount of fluid oozing from the blood vessels, which in turn will worsen the local swelling and pain.

Therefore, the practice of applying plasters within 24 hours is unscientific.

It can be applied after 24 hours, but it can be applied only after making sure there are no wounds.

When we do daily activities or work, we will inevitably have bruises and sprains, which will lead to soft tissue contusions of our limbs, and in more serious cases, hematomas. If it is a sprain, many people will apply plasters to improve the redness and swelling, but be careful not to apply it immediately, it is best to wait for a cold compress to reduce the swelling before applying.

Sprains can be plastered, but don't just sprain. Because most plasters have the effect of invigorating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, if you apply plasters just after a sprain, it will cause blood vessels to dilate and aggravate bleeding and swelling. If you've just sprained, consider applying topical ice to reduce swelling and pain.

After 24 hours of sprain, a warm compress can be applied to improve blood circulation and clear blood stasis, and then a plaster** such as analgesic cream or flurbiprofen barab cream can be selected. Pay attention to partial rest and avoid exertion. In addition, spraying aerosols and other medications for swelling and pain can help**.

48 to 72 hours after a sprain, you can use some plasters that promote blood circulation and clear blood stasis. Topical ointments can promote blood circulation in the body and improve local swelling and pain symptoms. Do not use the plaster all day long, as this may affect the effect.

After applying the plaster, we can apply a warm compress to the sprained area to enhance the effect of the plaster.

Because human tissues show an inflammatory response after being injured by the outside world, a large amount of fluid leaks from the blood vessels to the sprain, and the localized area slowly swells, which compresses the nerves and causes pain. The reaction peaks within 24 hours. If medicated analgesic ointment is used during this period, blood circulation will accelerate local blood circulation, and the fluid from the blood vessels will also increase, which will increase local swelling and pain.

Therefore, it is unscientific to use medicated analgesic ointment within 24 hours of trauma.

Sprains can be said to be a very common thing in people's lives, many people think that sprains should be in time, so after the sprain is applied in time, the results show that the symptoms are not only not reduced, but seem to be more serious. Does applying a plaster immediately after a sprain really make the condition worse?

Is it suitable for a sprain to apply a plaster immediately?

Strictly speaking, plasters can not be applied after a sprain, because many plasters contain some essential oil ingredients, which will increase the surface temperature, and the internal blood vessels will rupture after the sprain. Since you can't apply a plaster immediately after a sprain, when is the best time to apply a plaster?

At least 24 hours after the sprain, the sprain area is swollen due to the inflammatory reaction of the body's tissues immediately after being damaged by the outside world, and a large amount of blood seeps out of the blood vessels to the sprained area, which then compresses the nerves and causes pain. This reaction peaks within 24 hours, so the plaster should be applied after 24 hours. The most accurate time should be for the patient to observe that the affected area is no longer swollen, and then start applying plasters or choosing warm compresses.

How to choose a sprain plaster?

There are so many plasters on the market that many patients are confused when it comes to choosing one. In fact, the best way to choose a plaster is to choose according to your condition.

Generally, sprains choose plasters that reduce swelling and pain, promote blood circulation and then achieve pain relief, swelling and blood congestion. What should I look out for after a sprain?

In case of sprains and strains during exercise, you should stop exercising immediately to avoid aggravating the condition, and take first aid treatment in time. Topical painkillers can be used by simply applying them to the surface of the affected area, which can achieve a quick pain-relieving effect and avoid damage to the stomach and intestines.

Before exercising, it is necessary to do a full warm-up exercise, and pay attention to the amount and strength of the exercise during the exercise, so as to prevent body sprains to the greatest extent. Although exercise has great benefits for the body, once it causes trauma to the body, exercise can also bring harm to the body.

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.

Plaster is a kind of external medicine commonly used in the family, which has the advantages of easy use, low cost, significant curative effect, and no pollution of clothes. However, when using the drug** bruises and sprains, many people put a plaster on it immediately after the injury, thinking that the pain would heal quickly. In fact, this practice not only does not reduce the pain, but can cause the local swelling to worsen and make the pain worse.

The main reason is that most of the plasters we usually use for dampness and pain relief have the effect of activating blood and removing blood stasis. Our human tissues will immediately show an inflammatory reaction after being damaged by external forces, and a large amount of fluid will seep out from the blood vessels to the sprain, and the local swelling will slowly appear, and then compress the nerves and cause pain. This reaction can reach its peak within 24 hours, and if the pain relief cream is applied during this period, its blood-invigorating effect will accelerate local blood circulation, and the fluid oozing from the blood vessels will also increase, and the local swelling and pain will also increase.

Therefore, the post-injury patch cannot achieve the purpose of reducing swelling and relieving pain.

The correct way to use it should be that after a bruise, in the case of no damage, the affected area should be rinsed with cold water or ice to constrict the blood vessels and reduce the swelling and pain. Wait 24 hours before applying a warm compress or applying a wet analgesic ointment to reduce pain and shorten the duration of the disease.

All plasters containing musk, frankincense, safflower, peach kernels and other blood-invigorating and stasis-removing ingredients are prohibited for pregnant women. If there are pimples, blisters or severe itching after applying the plaster, it means that you are allergic to the ointment, and you should stop applying it immediately, and take oral anti-allergic drugs or topical hormone ointment.
