What method can reduce swelling quickly?

Many people often use hot compress to relieve swelling and pain, thinking that it can promote blood circulation. However, this practice is very wrong. Hot compress will only aggravate the pain and swelling of the wound, so it is best to use cold compress for the newly injured patient. Local cold compress can promote vasoconstriction, thus effectively reducing bleeding, and timely cold compress can also reduce the stimulation and oppression of nerve endings by metabolites.

Therefore, cold compress has a good detumescence and analgesic effect. Ice can be done every two hours 15 minutes until the swelling goes down. At the same time, patients should pay attention to keep the affected area as clean as possible after injury to avoid bacterial infection and inflammation.
