Safety procedures
Do not move the affected part to reduce pain and inflammation.
Apply ice wrapped in a cloth for about 15-20 minutes every 2-3 hours. Cold helps reduce swelling and pain.
Make a bandage that is not too tight to contain the swelling.
Keep the affected area in an elevated position on a pillow to help drain fluids.
If the skin is not irritated and there are no wounds or scratches, you can apply an ointment with an anti-inflammatory effect.
