What's the best way to bring down swelling?!


Question:

What's the best way to bring down swelling?

My mother hurt her knee a few days ago and the pain is spreading from her knee, to her calf, and now to her ankle. What would be the best way to bring down the swelling?


Answers:

Ice brings down swelling and heat (wet heat, like a hot bath) helps with pain. If she hurt herself a few days ago and the swelling still hasn’t gone down and the pain is spreading I would recommend going to a doctor. She could have torn something in her knee. Good luck.
