Knee swelling should be done in time treatment.
After knee swelling, if there is no obvious pain and the knee can move normally, it can be relieved by alternating cold and hot compresses. Cold compress first within 24 hours and hot compress after 24 hours. If it is accompanied by obvious pain or the knee cannot move normally, it is necessary to go to the hospital for knee MRI and CT examination to determine whether there is a fracture. If a fracture is detected, surgery is needed in time.
When receiving treatment, patients should pay more attention to rest and avoid strenuous exercise to avoid aggravation of the disease. In addition, they should choose high-nutrient and high-protein food supplements in their diet.
