How to handle a sprained toe

After a patient has sprained a toe, the patient should stop the activity, rest in bed, and elevate the lower limb, and apply blood circulation and pain relief cream or golden ointment to the sprained area. If the injury is severe, a toe plate should be fixed to limit the movement of the patient’s toes to avoid repeated external stimulation and further aggravation of the condition, and the patient should also be instructed to take oral bruises and injuries medications, such as Yunnan Baiyao, Shujin and blood-strengthening tablets, Daxuodan and Danshen tablets. Hot towel compresses and physical therapy can also be used on the injured area to improve blood circulation in the toe area and promote recovery of the injured muscle tissue as soon as possible.
