What to do if something hits you and you get swollen

Humans are very fragile and can easily get hurt by external injuries if they are not careful. If you are hit by something, the affected skin will often become red and swollen. If your hand is swollen due to being hit, it is usually caused by tissue fluid exudation due to soft tissue injury. At this time, you must be careful not to put stress on the affected hand. You can take some Panax notoginseng to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain. If your big toe is swollen due to being hit by a heavy object while you are working, you must first check whether there is a fracture.

1. How to quickly remove swelling?

1. If the time from the injury is more than 24 hours and there is no skin injury on the bruise, you can apply a hot towel for 30 minutes every day. If the towel gets cold, replace it in time to promote local blood circulation and play a role in removing blood stasis.

2. For serious cases, use alcohol (if there is no alcohol, strong liquor can be used instead). First apply the alcohol and rub gently. When you feel some burning sensation, rub vigorously in the direction of blood vessel flow. Do not wipe it when the blood flow is fast at noon or use a hot compress with a towel when taking a bath at night. Heat it until the skin turns red and you feel you can't bear it anymore. The effect will be better. Repeat several times to speed up blood circulation and eliminate bruises quickly!

3. If the condition is very serious, it is recommended to see a doctor.

Note: If the injury is within 24 hours, apply a cold towel for thirty minutes. After 24 hours, use a hot towel and replace it in time when the towel is hot. If you find it too troublesome within 24 hours, you can also directly rinse the bruised area with cold water for 30 minutes. The effect is very good. Qiufeng wishes you a speedy recovery!

2. What to do if your hand is swollen

If you accidentally hit your hand, local swelling will occur and gradually worsen. This is mainly caused by soft tissue damage leading to tissue fluid exudation. It is recommended to pay attention to rest in the last two weeks and avoid putting stress on the affected hand. Since the infiltration and absorption of tissue fluid requires a process, don't be too anxious. You can take Panax notoginseng tablets orally to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain. Generally, the swelling will gradually subside in about a week. If the swelling continues to increase and the pain in your hand worsens, you need to see a doctor immediately. Hope that helps you.

3. What to do if your big toe is swollen by a heavy object

If the swelling is severe and the possibility of a fracture cannot be ruled out, you still need to go to the hospital for examination. If you have just been injured, you can first apply ice to relieve pain and swelling. It is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to determine whether there is a fracture and get enough rest.
