Is there any harm in using a small sun to roast the affected area?

Patient's question:

Is it normal? I've been using a small sun to warm the affected area these past two days. Is that okay? Can I also stick a warm compress on my foot?

Doctor's answer:

Your right foot has very noticeable swelling. It is recommended not to apply heat for too long, as it takes time to reduce the swelling. After the fracture in your right foot, the internal soft tissues were damaged, which can lead to edema. The body needs time to rebuild the lymphatic drainage and blood flow to gradually reduce the swelling.
The above advice is for the question "Is it okay to use a small sun device to warm the affected area?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
