Injury management in the acute phase cold compress as soon as possible

a cold compress should be applied for the first time of the injury. The sooner the ice is applied, the better the effect of pain relief and swelling reduction. Ice can also be applied for the next 2 to 3 days (within 48 hours) until the swelling subsides.

Cold compresses can also be used for the first few days after the injury

If there is no ice in the first few days after the injury, the injured area is still painful and swollen, and it can also be relieved by ice, but the effect will be reduced.

Ice compress within 24 hours and hot compress after 24 hours
