When there is redness and swelling during a sprain, what problems should I pay attention to when app

Ice should be applied immediately at the time of injury, generally speaking, the sooner the better, if the conditions are not available at the time, the ice is effective within 12 hours, but the sooner the better. In addition, it has been reported that ice is beneficial in reducing the release of local inflammatory factors in patients, which is beneficial for pain relief. The two should be used as soon as possible after a sprain, which is conducive to the recovery of the ankle joint in the future!

Both ice and heat can actually reduce pain in the body. In contrast, warm compresses can dilate the body's blood vessels, promote blood circulation, relax muscles, and repair damaged tissues, so it is more suitable for patients with chronic muscle stiffness and pain. And the temperature can't be maintained for a long time.

But those of us who have studied junior high school physics all know that the temperature of the ice-water mixture is 0, and as long as the ice cubes in the ice pack are not melted, the temperature can be kept at 0, and this temperature is appropriate, neither high nor low.

When ice is applied, the blood vessels constrict, causing the blood to flow to slow down. Blood circulation is inhibited and the amount of bleeding decreases. Ice can also reduce swelling and relieve pain.

For a while, they were rubbed with safflower oil by their families. And not only rubbed safflower oil, but also massage, hot compress, drinking, various external drugs and massage** together! Relieves local congestion, reduces exudation, reduces edema, and reduces pain.

Therefore, it is suitable for injuries of acute closed wounds. Ice can also be applied within 24 hours of the sprain. It is best to keep the ice for 15-20 minutes each time, and the best ice to use is a mixture of ice and water about 0 degrees, so as to speed up the blood flow, so as to relax the muscles, increase circulation, and promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

If you apply hot compresses at the beginning of a sprain, it can be counterproductive and even cause serious consequences, so it is important to pay attention to the distinction.

<> wrap the injured ankle with an elastic bandage and apply proper pressure to reduce swelling. Be careful not to overcompress the limb with excessive pressure, as this will aggravate the swelling and ischemia of the distal limb at the place of the wrap. Rest well Avoid spicy and greasy foods until the swelling of your feet goes down! Eat more light.

When applying ice, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the ice cubes need to be protected by a dry towel to avoid direct contact with **, which may cause local** frostbite. If local swelling and pain are significant, a complete x-ray is needed to check for the presence of fractures and other problems.

In the early stage of the sprain, ice can be applied, and the ice can not be directly touched when applying ice, it is best to wrap the ice cube with a towel, and the ice should not be too long, so as not to affect the local body temperature is too low and cause necrosis.

Precautions for applying ice.

1. It is best to use ice-water mixture for the ice compress, which can keep the temperature at 0 and avoid frostbite.

2. The abdomen cannot be covered with ice, which may cause symptoms such as intestinal cramps or diarrhea. In patients with coronary heart disease and high fever, ice should not be applied to the soles of the feet to prevent angina.

1.Distinguish between minor and severe injuries. Mild fractures of the foot are only soft tissue injuries, and the more severe ones may be fractures of the lateral malleolus or the base of the fifth metatarsal, and even the most severe ones may be bilateral malleolar fractures of the medial and lateral malleolus, or even triple malleolar fractures.

The light ones can be disposed of by themselves, and the heavy ones must go to the hospital for a doctor's diagnosis and **. Therefore, it is very important to distinguish the severity of the injury.

Generally speaking, if you don't have severe pain when you move your ankle, you can barely stand with weight and barely walk; If the pain is not on the bones but on the muscles, most of the pain is a sprain, so you can deal with it yourself. If you have severe pain when you move your ankle, you can't stand and move with weight, the pain is on the bone, or you feel the sound in your foot when you sprain, and the swelling occurs quickly after the injury, especially if the tender point is on the high protruding bone in the middle of the lateral malleolus or outer foot surface, it is a sign of serious injury and you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment immediately. If you can't go to the hospital for a while, you can also temporarily dispose of it according to the following methods, and then go to the hospital for diagnosis as soon as possible**.

2.Use heat and cold compresses correctly. 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.

3.Appropriate activities. As swelling and pain progress after an injury, do not stand or walk around with your weight supported, and it is best to elevate the affected limb to limit any movement.

When the condition is stable, the affected limb can be elevated for active movement of the foot and ankle, but activities in the direction that can cause severe pain should not be done. Wait until the swelling and pain gradually subside, and then walk around the ground, preferably for a short period of time, and gradually increase as you get used to it.

4.Massage properly. Before the bleeding stops, it is advisable to do continuous rubbing on the hematoma, by pressing the thenar area with the palm of the hand, and the pressure is still tolerable despite the pain.

The time is to continue to press for 2 to 3 minutes, then release slowly, stop for a moment and repeat the operation. Every 5 repetitions is a phase, and it is more appropriate to do 3 to 4 phases a day. After the bleeding stops, knead the area, apply a certain amount of pressure to the area with the thenar or thumb and fingertips, and knead in the direction of the obvious swelling in the center, centrifugally in all directions around it, for 2 3 minutes each time, 3 5 times a day.

5.Rational use of medicines. Before the bleeding stops, it is not advisable to take the blood-invigorating drug internally or externally, and you can spray the wound with "good too fast" to take the Yunnan blood medicine internally.

After the bleeding stops, it is advisable to apply Wuhu Dan externally, and take bone-setting pills internally, invigorating blood and relieving pain, etc. In the later stage, it can be fumigated with Chinese herbs. If you don't have Chinese patent medicine at hand, you can also fry the flour and apply it to the affected area with rice vinegar to replace the Five Tiger Pills, and the effect is also ideal.

It is also good to use a pinch of Sichuan pepper and a small handful of salt boiled water to fumigate, instead of Chinese herbal medicine.

Within 2 days of injury, cold compresses can be applied to prevent local edema.

Hot compress is used 2 days after the injury, in order to promote local blood circulation and restore the injured part as soon as possible, hot compress can be used, such as combined with internal medicine and external medicine The effect is better.

Cold compresses are used to prevent telangiectasia and edema, strains and sprains at the beginning.

Hot compress, as the name suggests, is to promote local blood circulation, increase the metabolic speed of local metabolites, and start using it after a day or two of strain and sprain.

Strains, sprains, and should be applied with ice, not heat.

After an ankle sprain, ice is ideal for 24 hours, regardless of whether there is a fracture, because it can reduce local congestion and edema, that is, it can reduce the swelling of the affected limb, which is very beneficial. Generally, there are no sequelae of water accumulation. After a sprained joint, do not rub and massage it immediately, and do not use a hot towel.

It should be cold compressed with cold water or ice cubes for 15 minutes, rubbed with turpentine or coated with Panax notoginseng powder and Yunnan Baiyao, or mashed with Chinese herbs such as dandelion and purslane that invigorate blood, disperse stasis and reduce swelling.

Many people have an indifferent attitude towards ankle sprains, thinking that "two days of care is fine", but in fact, it is not. Proper rest is needed, but not all, and the likelihood of re-injury of the ankle is 3 to 4 times higher in patients without regularity than in patients with regularity. Patients with primary injury in the acute stage, if the injury does not involve ligament tissue, as long as they can accept formal conservative ** under the guidance of a specialist, and abide by the principles of rest, ice, compression bandaging, and elevation of the affected limb, they can achieve satisfactory curative effects.

In the acute phase, cold compresses can be applied for 24 to 48 hours, 10 to 20 minutes each time, once every 6 hours, and hot compresses for 2 to 3 days after 48 hours, so as to promote the absorption of local tissue exudate as soon as possible and reduce pain. If necessary, the ankle can be immobilized with adhesive tape for 2 to 3 weeks.

First of all, after the injury, avoid continuing to bear weight or walk, and do not rub the wound by a companion.

The affected ankle can be bandaged and fixed in a mild valgus position after 90 years of dorsal extension of the foot and ankle can be bandaged or fixed with a bandage, and the walking can be restricted, and the patient should be sent to the hospital for treatment.

For mild symptoms, cold water or a cold washcloth can be applied and the affected limb elevated immediately after the injury. At this time, the cold compress can constrict the blood vessels, reduce local congestion, reduce tissue temperature, and play the role of hemostasis, swelling and analgesia. Therefore, after an acute sprain, a local cold compress should be applied as soon as possible.

Elevating the affected limb can speed up the return of blood and lymph fluid, so that blood stasis will not accumulate in the blood vessel injury.

Cold compress method: Put a towel soaked in cold water on the wound and change it every 3 minutes or so, or you can put ice cubes in a plastic bag for external compression, 20 to 30 minutes each time. In summer, you can use tap water to rinse, and the rinsing time is generally about 4 to 5 minutes, not too long.

It depends on whether it is a tendon injury or a soft tissue contusion. In fact, ice is not recommended, and it is used to deal with emergencies, such as walking. Treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

1. Apply ice cubes to cold compress directly. 10 to 20 minutes. The main thing is to avoid bleeding from the internal tissues, and the external manifestation is swelling.

2. Apply Yunnan Baiyao and Chinese bone-setting pills externally. Take Chinese bone-setting pills internally. 3. If there is no swelling or swelling after the cold compress, ask the school physical education teacher to tie the bandage.

4. After two or three days according to the above method, put on the strap and see if you can return to the court. When in doubt, ask questions.

The ice effect is vasoconstriction, followed by the ischemic effect, which directly affects the oxygen supply and other nutrient delivery of local tissues, which in turn leads to local tissue necrosis. Normally, the body's protective effect prevents this from happening, and our body perceives that the blood vessels here re-expand, blood flow increases, and the hypoxia situation improves, thus preventing necrosis. The duration of the ice should be strictly controlled.

Normal ice should not be applied for more than 10 minutes. For more severe injuries, 10 minutes of ice is not enough, so ice can be applied every half hour to control symptoms.

In general, ice is applied for the acute phase within 24 hours of injury, and heat is applied for the subacute and chronic phases after 48 hours.

I don't know if it's the same as if we were injured while playing.

Just start with ice water.

Remember not to rub with hot water and potions.

Because the blood vessels did not heal at the beginning.

Continued use of hot water or rubbing will improve blood circulation.

This will congest the blood.

Generally, we use the second set of re-medicated rubs.

By that time, the blood vessels had already clotted.

But there is also bruising, etc.

At this time, re-rubbing to promote blood circulation can promote the dissipation of the swollen bag.

The fastest effective method: use Tian Qi to smash and then flush water or wine, one to two grams each time, within one hour after drinking, the bruise part is completely eliminated or part of the ** method. Elimination, but the attack will continue after five hours, indicating that the medication is very effective, and if it works after the trial, it will give you the most effective one.

No, this will make the sprained part of yourself more swollen and more painful, and it will affect the doctor's diagnosis after arriving at the hospital, affect your condition, and leave yourself with sequelae.

If there is significant swelling, redness, or pain in the area of the sprain, ice can be applied. Ice is not to say that the longer the better, too long will lead to faster blood circulation and more swelling locally.

Yes, you can. But after 24 hours, it can't be done, and then the pain will worsen, and it will become more severe and irreversible.

No, this will cause the temperature to drop, blood circulation will also drop, and there is a possibility of muscle cramps, which can cause secondary damage.

Do not apply ice after a sprain, because it is easy to make the blood flow in this area not flow smoothly, so do not apply ice after a sprain.

Ice can certainly be applied after a sprain, and when the foot is sprained acutely, it should be applied in time. At this time, applying ice can reduce swelling in the sprained area, and can also reduce tissue exudation in the sprained area, reducing inflammation and pain. When the foot has been sprained for a long time, it should not be applied with ice, but should be applied with heat**.

Ice can constrict blood vessels, reduce local congestion, inhibit sensory nerves, reduce pain, relieve symptoms, and have the effects of cooling, hemostasis, analgesia and swelling. And hot compresses are a simple and practical way to ** diseases. The heat dilates the blood vessels, and if the whole body is full of blood, 1 2 to 2 3 blood in the body will accumulate in the body.

Therefore, when the heat is transferred to the blood in the **, the heat will be quickly transferred to other parts of the body, so that the local blood circulation will be accelerated, the content of oxygen in the blood will increase, and the body's metabolic rate will also be accelerated, so it can promote the absorption of local inflammation, so it is better to use ice.
