Swelling after a fall may be caused by soft tissue injury, fracture, etc. You need to go to the hospital to clarify the cause. 1. Soft tissue injury: A fall may damage soft tissue and capillaries, resulting in edema and bruising. Within 72 hours of the fall, you can use ice packs to relieve swelling, and after 72 hours, you can use hot packs to promote blood flow. At the same time, you can use Yunnan Baiyao and other drugs to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis to accelerate the swelling. 2. Fracture: Fracture will destroy the capillaries around the bone, thus causing edema. The injury should be immobilized immediately to prevent secondary injuries, avoid movement, and, if necessary, be immobilized in a cast to promote recovery. Swelling after a fall, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible for examination and treatment after clarifying the cause.
