What to do if you have a fracture?

It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, which shows that long-term recuperation is required. Generally, fractures will cause pain after treatment. If the pain is severe, you do not need to take painkillers. If the pain is severe, you can take medicine to relieve it. In addition to medication to relieve the pain of fractures, you must also pay attention to diet and other aspects. Do not eat irritating foods such as chili peppers. Eat more foods that are high in protein, calcium, iron, zinc, vitamins and other nutrients. You can often use hot compresses to relieve the pain. Hot compresses are beneficial to promote blood circulation, relieve pain, and help the recovery of fractures. Avoid strenuous activities when moving, maintain a good attitude, do not be too stressed, and go to the hospital for follow-up on time.

1. Mitigation methods

1. First of all, if the pain is severe, we can choose to take bone-setting tablets, Yunnan Baiyao, or ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, an anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug, orally after meals to relieve the pain caused by fractures.

2. Secondly, generally speaking, it is normal to have swelling and pain in the early stages of a fracture. Be careful not to use painkillers to relieve pain, because if hormone-containing drugs are misused, it will promote bone necrosis and aggravate the fracture injury.

3. Finally, we must know that reducing swelling and relieving pain are not the purpose of treatment for fractures. The focus of treatment is to allow broken bones to grow and heal quickly. At the same time, pay attention to drinking more water, maintaining rest time, and promoting bone growth.

2. Diet

1. Foods should be steamed or stewed as the main ingredients, and less spicy, greasy and fried foods should be eaten. In addition, during the treatment period, you can take Suhe Bone-setting Powder or Bone-setting Qili Tablets to increase the growth rate of callus and speed up healing. In addition, you can eat more honey and bananas, because bedridden patients will mostly have symptoms such as constipation, and these foods can help defecation.

2. For fracture patients who have been injured for 2 to 4 weeks, their bodies are no longer so weak, and their appetite and gastrointestinal function have recovered. At that time, they can supplement nutrition appropriately, such as bone soup, fish, eggs and animal liver. Foods are better. At the same time, they should also eat more carrots, tomatoes, green peppers, etc. These foods can meet the needs of bone growth.

Promote wound healing.

3. More than 5 weeks after the fracture, the patient can eat more high-nutrition foods and foods containing trace elements such as calcium, manganese, and iron. Animal liver, eggs, green vegetables, and wheat contain more iron; seafood, soybeans, etc. contain more zinc; oatmeal, egg yolks, etc. contain more manganese. It can also be served with chicken soup, fish soup, various bone soups, etc., and red dates, wolfberries, etc. can be added optionally.

4. In the days to come, fracture patients no longer need to avoid certain foods, except for those that are obviously not beneficial. The diet of some critically ill patients and patients with other complications due to fractures cannot be generalized and reasonable arrangements must be made based on their condition and doctor's orders.

3. Notes

Don't take too much supplements when you have a fracture, as this will be counterproductive. The main thing is to keep up with the nutrition. Don't do strenuous exercise after the fracture to avoid secondary injury. Some people say that with bone soup you can only drink the soup and not eat the meat. I'm not really sure about it. There are many opinions, but generally speaking it's not a big deal. Also, please note that before treatment, you should never move the affected finger yourself to avoid displacement or dislocation, which may affect subsequent treatment.
