Question
Accidentally fell while helping my child shovel snow, resulting in leg swelling. After resting for half a month, most of the swelling has subsided, but some remains. I’m asking about the time required for the leg to return to its normal state.
Answer
It is recommended that the individual go to the hospital for an X-ray to confirm if there is a fracture. If it is only soft tissue damage, consider using ice packs to promote swelling reduction. If confirmed to have no fracture, appropriate activities can be performed; if there is a fracture, the affected limb should be immobilized and receive specialized treatment. These suggestions are for reference, and I wish for a speedy recovery.
