Patient's question:
The calf often hurts. It also swells. What kind of help is needed: Should it be iced or cold compressed? Are there any other effective methods besides this?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the description, I believe if your condition is caused by acute trauma, you can apply cold compress for one day and then continue with cold compress. If the symptoms reappear without any reason, I suggest applying cold compress. Additionally, elevating the affected limb can help reduce swelling. If the symptoms do not improve for a long time, applying cold compress and taking magnesium sulfate powder orally can be effective. It is recommended that the patient pay more attention to their diet in daily life and avoid stimulating foods. Rest more!
