Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
There is no need to do hot or cold compression. I think, you should go to surgeon for dressing of swollen arm and for medication in form antibiotics that would help to prevent infection. Better to avoid intravenous cocaine abuse for next few days. Healing would take time, so be patience.
