Patient's question:
Since I twisted my ankle when I was in junior high school with my classmates, it has been twenty years, and I still frequently experience ankle sprains. Now, the condition has become so severe that the doctor has diagnosed me with phlebitis. How should I treat the phlebitis caused by some minor ankle strains?Doctor's answer:
If repeated damage leads to phlebitis, first observe how the pain manifests. Pay attention to mutual coordination in physical treatments like heat application to help stabilize local circulation and alleviate symptoms of poor blood flow. At the same time, adjust activity habits, avoid excessive exercise, or engage in inappropriate movements. Regularly visit the hospital for follow-up checks to monitor the gradual recovery of the condition. Avoid consuming stimulating foods.
