Suggest Remedies For Swelling In The Finger Post An Accident
I was riding around on a UTV on a trail and grabbed a branch that happened to have thorns and it pricked and cut my finger, it has become swollen shortly after and I have applied Wal-Dry anti itch cream. What should I do to reduce swelling or is the ointment enough?
I think you should put ice on it to reduce swelling. Also you can use antihistamines such Benadryl or Citerizine for itching and swelling. Putting an anti itching cream also may be good.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
