Suggest Cure For A Swelling In The Ankle Caused By A Fall
Hi!! I fell of my scooter the other day and got a bad scrap down my shin and ok my ankle. It s understandable that my ankle is swollen of course, but it is still bright red and I think it s bleeding still. I keep non-stick pads in it and change then twice a day. Every time I change it there are yellow and red stains. How can I help it heel better and maybe some pain remedies because it throbs everyday? Thank you!!
Hello,Thanks for your query.After going through your query I came to know that you fell of your scooter the other day and got a bad scrap down your shin and ankle. It is still bright red and is bleeding still. You keep non-stick pads in it and change then twice a day. Every time you change it there are yellow and red stains. These strains are of serum coming out of wound as it has not healed completely.Don't worry much , it is normal for abrasions. Keep the limb elevated to reduce swelling,Rest and analgesics(diclofenac/ ibuprofen) will be helpful for pain relief. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
