Suggest remedy for pain and swelling in the knee
Patient: hello I m concern about my knee two days ago my family and took a drive and on the way I started peeling off the scabb I have a bad habbit taking off the scabbs well the next morning woke up and had pain on my knee later on the day it got swollen and hurting more I put ice packs on it and today its the secobd day and its still the same its hot and swollen can you tell me whats going on and if I need antibiotics Doctor: hi,thank-you for providing the brief history of you.As you had a scab and you tried peeling it off which was not the need, as it is the normal healing process and it heals on its own and falls away.Since, now the symptoms are hot skin and swelling, continue performing icing and do gentle massage near the area to improve the healing process. Also, kindly avoid any peeling of the scabs in future to avoid infection due to nail injury.RegardsJay Indravadan Patel
