Patient's question:
Arm injured, took an X-ray and there were no issues, but it swelled up. It's been a few days now, and it's slightly (fading swelling), but the arm can't be straightened. Went to see the doctor again, he said it's nothing. What's going on? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your child has an elbow injury. Timely medical attention and imaging tests ruled out a fracture. If there is localized soft tissue damage causing swelling, you can choose to apply heat to the affected area after 24 hours, along with topical medications like Huoluo oil for treatment. With longer treatment, the swelling can be reduced. Afterwards, actively strengthen joint function exercises, and recovery is possible.
