How To Reduce Swelling In Foot When Diagnosed With Haematoma In Foot?

About 2 months ago I injured my left foot. It swelled and had some bruising. I went to multiple doctors and finally came up with a result of a hemotoma in the foot. He said 6-8 weeks to heal. The bruises have gone away but the swelling is still there. Could it be something else? Should I go back to the doctor?

Hello dear user, thanks for consulting Healthcaremagic and sharing your concerns, I think you can try some anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen 2 times a day and vitamins supplements( B ) a contrast-bath between heat and cold (alternating) 3-4 times a day 20-30 minutes on your foot is going to help to restores some circulatory problems, limit your physical activities and elevate your foot to avoid or decrease swelling, a brace use is appreciate as comfortable shoes with silicone support, if after 10-15 days the symptoms persist a doctor should be consulted.Take care
