What is the treatment of swelling and bruise ?
Patient: I fell on my foot funny about 3 days ago it's still swollen and brusing has occurred. I have been on crutches and also I can't seem to keep it warm it's always freezing cold to touch. It's the inside of my right foot that is bruised in the arch of the foot Doctor: Hello!Thank you for the query.First of all it is necessary to determine if your symptoms are caused by soft tissues injury or by some bones fracture. To do that, an X-ray is necessary. Foot swelling and bruise can indicate some hematoma in soft tissues which in some cases may need surgical incision. Veins thrombosis is also a possibility which should be ruled out.That is why I suggest you to consult a surgeon.Hope this will help.Regards.
