How Can Swelling Of Elbow Be Treated?

I have had swelling in my right elbow since last Thursday, accompanied with redness and sensitivity to the touch. I have been taking ibuprofen for the inflammation and discomfort and just finished a course of z-PAC antibiotics in case of infection. The swelling and redness appeared to be getting better, but today it has sped and seems to be getting worse.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If you had hurt yourself somewhere, then your history indicates towards a hairline undisplayed fracture. Apply cold pack and see an orthopaedician as you might require medical help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harsh Swarup
