Doctor's answer:
Periostitis is caused by the expansion, congestion, edema, or subperiosteal laceration of the periosteum and its blood vessels, leading to creeping periosteal damage due to the organization of hematoma, periosteal hyperplasia, and inflammatory changes, or by infectious periosteal damage caused by the rampant of purulent bacteria. It is recommended to treat with traditional Chinese medicine internally. Internal administration of ointments that can relax muscles, activate blood circulation, reduce swelling and pain, disperse blood stasis, and expel wind and cold is suggested. The internal administration of ointments has strong local penetration, allowing drug molecules to be absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream and directly reach the affected area. Through the skin, the drugs are transmitted to the meridians and tendons, stimulating the body's adjustment functions, enhancing comprehensive functional recovery beyond the goal of rapid self-healing.
