Swelling In Inner Side Of Elbow With Pinkish Skin Due To Fall On Elbow, Clear Orange Fluid Inside. Used Peroxide, Antibiotic Gel. Time To Heal?

Fell on my elbow with small laceration on the end. Cleaned wound and simple bandaid applied. Approximately 4 hrs later swelling above and to inner side of elbow occured along with pinkish coloring of skin. Cut scabbed overnight. Gave it a deep cleansing with poroxide and trip antibiotic gel with gauze pad and tape. Clearish orange fluid present. No fever. Just sore. How long for watchful waiting? Swelling has reduced.

Welcome to HCM.
You have to clean the wound with antiseptic liquid.
Apply providone/iodine or antibiotic cream on it.
Take nsaid to subside pain and inflammation.
Injection tetanus is also advisable.
It will heal within 5 to 7 days.
Take proper local care.
