In our daily exercise, there are often sprains in our feet. In fact, most people, after sprains, when they are dealing with them, often because they don't know how to deal with them, lead to further aggravation of sprains. Therefore, after sprains, we must take the right approach to avoid some common mistakes.
Mistake 1: when using ginger and wine to push and wipe the sprained ankle, ankle, wrist and other parts, some folk methods are to massage with palm, or use ginger and wine to push and wipe. These methods will promote the vascular expansion of the injured soft tissue, accelerate the blood flow and increase the exudation, and aggravate the local swelling and pain.
Correct way: once sprain occurs, the injured part should be raised and fixed, and cold compress should be carried out to reduce swelling and pain. At the same time, professional doctors should be consulted as soon as possible.
Mistake 2: for ankle sprain, hot compress should be applied immediately. When ankle sprain, fracture or dislocation occurs, hot compress should not be applied immediately, because hot compress will accelerate blood flow, cause swelling of soft tissue, cause nerve compression and produce deeper pain.
Correct way: once ankle sprain, should immediately give cold compress (preferably ice and water), wrap ice bag with towel, apply on the injured surface, to prevent excessive swelling of local tissue and reduce pain can play a good role. In the absence of ice, you can buy some popsicles and ice cream, smash them and apply them to the injured area, and see a doctor as soon as possible.
Mistake 3: the soft bandage can not play a strong role in controlling bleeding and fixing ankle joint.
Correct way: at this time, plaster or splint should be fixed in time. If necessary, surgical treatment should be carried out. Many people choose to bear it in the early stage, which is not advisable. It is possible to drag the injury into a chronic disease, affect the functional recovery, or even leave part of the disability.
Usually, if people do not deal with the sprain in time or fall into the above mistakes, it is very easy to delay the disease. Therefore, we should know more about the correct ways to deal with the sprain at ordinary times, in case of emergency.
