Due to the different degrees of abrasions and swelling, the time to reduce swelling after abrasions also varies, without hematoma and infection, generally ranging from 3 days to 10 days.
If the patient is a minor abrasion or soft tissue swelling, it is generally recommended that a cold compress be applied within 24 hours of the abrasion in order to reduce the exudation of the local capillaries, and a hot compress be applied after 24 hours of the abrasion to promote local blood circulation, and the swelling will gradually disappear in about 3 to 10 days.
However, if the patient is a more serious abrasion or hematoma, infection and other conditions, the patient affected area will be relatively longer time to reduce swelling, the longest time about 1 month, because at this time the patient may need to be puncture therapy and anti-inflammatory treatment.
It is recommended to consult a doctor for timely examination of abrasions, and carry out appropriate treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
