Chinese and western medicine jointly suggest:
1. After spraining your ankle, try to keep the injured foot still. If possible, it can be fixed with bandages, which can reduce the degree of swelling.
2. Don't massage within 24 hours after injury, but apply cold compress repeatedly. Touch it 5 times every 2 hours, preferably 1 time. This is because the local capillaries are still broken within 24 hours after sprain. Cold compress can promote vasoconstriction, and some sprays can also be used to help stop bleeding and relieve pain.
After 3.24 hours, hot compress with warm water twice a day. Hot compress after 24 hours can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and promote the absorption of blood stasis.
After spraining ankle, it is best to find a specialist in time to avoid future trouble.
