Swelling of the bunion can be treated in the following ways: First, if the bunion is caused by trauma, the affected limb should be elevated as much as possible to eliminate the swelling by using gravity, while cold compresses can be applied continuously, and oral medications such as Hu Lixan capsules and Pan Long Qi tablets should be taken to eliminate the swelling and relieve the pain. Second, if the swelling of the big toe is caused by gouty arthritis, anti-gout treatment should be carried out, taking goutidine, colchicine and other drugs to relieve the swelling. Thirdly, if the swelling is caused by degenerative osteoarthritis of the interphalangeal joint, continuous heat application to the joint with ultrashort wave therapy and oral administration of celecoxib capsules and loxoprofen sodium is required to relieve inflammation and reduce local swelling. The use of the above comprehensive treatment can lead to rapid relief of clinical symptoms, and early diagnosis and early treatment of patients is also crucial.
