Patients with bruises from a collision need to be seen in the hospital first to except for any large blood vessel ruptures, organ ruptures, or fractures. If these more serious injuries are not present, ice packs can be applied within the first 24 hours after the injury. Longer ice packs are recommended to reduce local tissue oozing, reduce tissue edema, and reduce patient pain. After 24 hours of injury, localized hot compresses are applied to help promote the absorption of edema and promote the absorption of hematoma, as well as to reduce pain. Some patients can be treated with physical therapy to help relieve symptoms, and sometimes safflower oil or Yunnan Baiyao spray can be applied to help with treatment. Alcoholic beverages and spicy foods should not be consumed during treatment.
