How can hematoma be cured?
Patient: My 75 year old mother had a storm door slide across the top of her foot causing a hematoma. It is about the size of a quarter and very swollen. She is diabetic. So far, she has taken two ibeupfren and has her foot wrapped in ice and is elevated. Should she seek professional medical attention?Thank you. Doctor: Hi,As she is diabetic, risk of having infection at the side is there.Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days.Continue applying ice pack for few days.Ok and take care.
