What to do if your finger is swollen and bruised

When the finger is swollen and bruised due to trauma, it should be braked in the acute stage. If there is a fracture, a small splint or a small forearm plaster cast should be used if there is no displacement; even if there is no fracture and there is ligamentous and soft tissue damage, it is recommended that an aluminum plate should be used for immobilization. Localized braking facilitates the absorption and dissipation of bruising, and also facilitates the recovery of soft tissues. In the acute stage of injury, i.e. within 3 days of injury, it is better to give local ice packs, the role of ice is analgesic on the one hand, on the other hand, by lowering the local temperature, to reduce the capillary rupture and bleeding, which is beneficial to the absorption of hematoma, after 3 days the bleeding stops, and then change to baking lamps, physiotherapy and other measures to promote the local circulation, which is designed to help the hematoma to absorb and dissipate quickly, generally the hematoma in the finger. General hematoma of the finger does not need oral hemostatic drugs, nor do they need to take some anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs. If the patient’s pain is obvious, he/she can take a small amount of Cilostro, Erythroxib, etc. to help relieve the pain.
