Patient's question:
A few days ago, I injured my hand, and it's been 4 days now. At first, it was very painful, but now my thumb root is swollen and purple, my arm hurts, and my hand is cold. I'm a mom, and now when I hold my child, it hurts so much that my hand feels like it's splitting apart. I haven't gone to the hospital yet. What's going on with this?Doctor's answer:
It could be soft tissue injury or arthritis. If the thumb can't move, it may be due to abnormal movement, possibly a fracture or meniscus injury. It is recommended to take Ditoxin pills orally and use Yunnan Baiyao spray externally. Ditoxin pills can promote blood circulation, dispel blood stasis, reduce swelling, and relieve pain. They are used for injuries, blood stasis, swelling, and pain, as well as for strains and muscle cramps. Dosage and Instructions: Take one pill orally twice a day. It is advisable to go to the hospital for an X-ray to check.
