Suggest Treatment For Bruising And Swelling On The Foot After Injury
Question: I fell in the top part of my foot. The bruising and swelling improved with ice on Tues, but today the bruising is up to my toes and hurts more than yesterday.
Brief Answer:
Bone injury needs to be ruled out.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
After an injury if the pain and swelling are increasing then a bone injury needs to be ruled out after an X-ray examination. If it is only a soft tissue injury then crepe bandage and rest to the foot will help in proper recovery in three weeks. Color changes indicate a hematoma inside and can be due to a bone injury.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
