Swollen Leg by Timson527(op): 1:58pm On Jan 17, 2021
Good after all and happy Sunday.

On the 29th of last year I unexpectedly engaged myself into a fight that cost me an injury in my right leg. I do not know where I hit my leg when the fight was going on and I didn’t feel any pains until two days after the fight, I notice a part of my leg have swollen up but I did not feel any pains there. I used hot water on it and the swollen part went back into. Tho I sustained injury as a result of the high temperature of the hot water which made the swollen leg to turn to a wound. The next day the swollen leg which have gone inside came out swollen again, ever since then I have been using hot water but it keeps on going in and coming out swollen again. I visited the pharmacy and they gave me a drug have have showed no improvement and also ask me to be using cold water on it still there have been no improvement. Please what do I do to be okay. I am very uncomfortable seeing this on my leg��

Give it time it will heal use that capsule's powder that dry wounds.

Keep away from fights or fighting.

Aside the wound your leg is fresh.

Go to a medicine store . Get white capsules sprinkle the powder on the face of the wound. It will dry it up. Okay?

Well, that might be the reason it has refused to heal. It might probably have been infected already, and also painful.

What you're going to do is go to the hospital or get a nurse to clean (disinfect) and dress up the wound with bandage.
After dressing up the wound, whenever you want to bathe, make sure to ALWAYS COVER IT (with something waterproof) so that water does not get into it. Avoid it being reinfected, so that it can heal faster. DOING THIS WILL MAKE IT HEAL FASTER!
They might give you some antibiotics and painkillers (if need be) VITAMIN C TABLETS will help also.
You might need to clean and dress the wound like 2times in a week.
Follow this instructions, and by the grace of God, you should see improvement in less than a month.
