The most common type of injury is a bruise, because you can get it in everyday life on the street, at home, working in the garden or in the country. Most often, head, arms and legs suffer from bruises, and vessels, nerves and muscles are injured. Bruising, bruising, bruising, swelling, and swelling form as a result of bruises. How to provide first aid and how to treat bruises?
First of all, an ice bag or towel moistened with cold water should be attached to the injured area. If there is an abrasion or a scratch at the site of a bruise, it must be disinfected, burned with iodine or alcohol.
One day after receiving the injury, the injury site can begin to be massaged. Self-massage helps well in case of joint damage, relieves pain, improves blood circulation and metabolism, promotes accelerated resorption of hematomas and edema. First, massage the area located above the injury site for 4-5 minutes twice a day. Use kneading, stroking, squeezing. After two or three days, they go directly to the injured area, stroking it slightly and kneading, and then proceed to a deeper effect. It is also recommended to use it with a warming massage with paraffin wax applications or just warm water. On the second day of the injury, warming compresses can be applied.
Throughout the entire period of treatment of the bruise, various ointments are used that have a warming, restoring blood circulation and damaged blood vessel walls and analgesic effect. A unique antiseptic and anti-inflammatory property has an ointment for bruises - the “Lifeguard forte” balm. This drug well anesthetizes the bruise, and also relieves swelling and stimulates recovery processes. The composition of this ointment with bruises includes only natural components that do not cause negative reactions on the skin.
When using such therapeutic ointments as Viprosal, Virapin, Vipratox, which have anti-inflammatory and warming properties, a preliminary skin test should be performed. If the drug is well tolerated, a small layer is applied to the affected area and, with light circular movements, the ointment is rubbed with bruises until a slight burning sensation and heat appear. If the place of the bruise is too painful, then the ointment can be rubbed a little higher, or a little lower than the localization of pain, the therapeutic substances will still be delivered to the intended destination through the blood vessels.
On the first day, ointments with bruises are best applied before bedtime. With a positive reaction, on the second day, the drug is applied three times already during the day, and starting from the third day of treatment, the ointment is used twice - in the morning and in the evening, but its amount is increased.
Potent drugs, such as Finalgon, should be used with caution. First, a minimal amount of ointment is applied to the sore spot. With a favorable effect, the dose can be gradually increased. It should be borne in mind that the ointment "Finalgon" forms a protective film on the skin that prevents the penetration of the drug under the skin during repeated use. Therefore, before the next use, the injury site should be washed with warm water.
