A burning sensation after spraying for osteoarthritis can be normal or abnormal.
Normal: Osteoarthritis is one of the more common types of orthopedic disease, usually caused by degeneration or trauma to the joints. Treatment with topical medications is a common way to relieve the symptoms of osteoarthritis.
If the topical medication used by the patient has the effect of dilating the local blood vessels, the burning sensation after use is usually a normal phenomenon, usually after the metabolism of the drug, the burning sensation can subside on its own.
Abnormal situation: If the patient uses the drug itself does not have the role of vasodilatation, the burning sensation after spraying the drug is not normal.
It may be caused by the skin irritation of certain ingredients in the drug; it may also be caused by local skin reactions or allergic reactions after use. Generally speaking, it is necessary to immediately stop using and rinse with large amounts of water or saline.
If the patient’s symptoms are severe, or if the symptoms continue without improvement, he should go to the hospital for treatment.
