Swelling after a fracture of the foot can be reduced through the use of anti-inflammatory drugs as prescribed by the doctor, as well as through appropriate exercise and local physical therapy. 1. Drugs to reduce swelling: you can follow the doctor’s instructions to take oral anti-inflammatory drugs, such as non-steroidal drugs, common drugs include nimesulide, ibuprofen and diclofenac sodium extended-release tablets and other drugs. 2. Appropriate exercise: you can do some active functional exercise. Do not think that after the fracture is fixed and braked, you need to keep the limbs completely still, which is wrong. Doctors do not have fixed joints that need to be properly moved, such as the toes, through muscle contraction to promote blood circulation, which helps reduce swelling. 3. local physical therapy: after the fracture is reset, the affected limb should be elevated, and pay attention to the activities of the toes to exercise, to avoid blood stasis in the lower limbs. 72 hours of cold compresses, 72 hours of hot compresses or local microwave physiotherapy, can make the swelling eliminated. Swelling after foot fracture should be timely medical treatment, under the guidance of the doctor to choose drugs, receive standardized treatment in order to reduce swelling.
