Question
A few days ago, my hand was struck, and it’s been four days since then, but I still feel pain. The base of my thumb has swelling and bruising, and there’s also pain in my arm. My palm feels cold. As a mother, I feel pain when I hold my child and separate my hand. I haven’t gone to the hospital for a consultation yet. What’s going on?
Answer
It may involve soft tissue damage or arthritis. If there is limited movement or abnormal movement of the thumb, there may be a fracture or meniscus injury. It is recommended to take fall and bruise pills and apply Yunnan Baiyao spray externally. Fall and bruise pills are used to promote blood circulation, dissipate blood stasis, reduce swelling, and relieve pain. They are suitable for injuries from falls, blood stasis and swelling, and lumbar sprains. The dosage is one pill orally, twice a day. It is suggested to see a doctor as soon as possible for an X-ray examination.
