What should I do if my foot is swollen after being hit by something

Any part of the body is very important to us. For example, the foot is an important part that bears the weight of the entire human body. We may injure our feet while working or exercising. The most common is being hit by goods when carrying goods, which will cause the feet to swell quickly. In order to reduce the harm to the feet, timely care must be taken. So what should I do if my feet are swollen by something?

First, what should you do if your foot is swollen after being hit by something? Apply local cold compress for the first three days of injury, and local warm compress three days after injury. Take blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine orally or topically three days after injury (the more you use it in the first three days, the more swollen it will be). Raise the affected limb, and do not move it, let alone do strenuous exercise.

Second, in your case, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible. If there is no fracture, it is best to recuperate as usual and cooperate with drug treatment. It is recommended that you eat less spicy food, quit smoking and drinking, drink more water, and take some medicines to relax the muscles and promote blood circulation, for example, and apply Dieda pills or safflower oil, the effect will be relatively better.

Third, after your foot is hit, you must first confirm whether there are any bone injuries. If there are no bone injuries, it is soft tissue injury. Soft tissue injuries are mainly caused by vascular congestion and excessive exudation of tissue fluid. Ice compress should be applied immediately after injury to reduce edema. Hot compress can be applied after 24 hours to help eliminate swelling and pain.

What should you do if your foot is swollen after being hit by something? It is considered to be a soft tissue injury of the foot. Because the foot was hit, the soft tissue of the foot was damaged, the tissue was congested and edematous, the return of venous blood and tissue fluid was blocked, and the subcutaneous capillaries ruptured, thus causing symptoms of obvious swelling and pain. It is recommended to rest quietly and avoid excessive activity. Elevate the affected limb when sleeping to help venous blood return. Apply ice to the foot to constrict capillaries and reduce bleeding. After 72 hours, apply external application of safflower oil, Voltaren, Yunnan Baiyao aerosol, etc. for treatment.
