When there is no ice at hand, and the bruise is already beginning to appear, you can use objects that will be found in almost every house. These alternatives will not only cool the place of bruises, but also help to quickly remove the edema.
Here are some of them:
Frozen vegetables or fruits
A package with frozen peas, berries or corn perfectly repeats the shape of an injured area. The main thing is to wrap them in clean fabric to avoid direct contact with the skin.
Cold metal spoon
The spoon cooled in the freezer for 15-20 minutes will effectively remove the first symptoms. You can use several pieces in turn until they heat up.
Wet towel
The fabric moistened in icy water and well -pressed will give the desired cooling effect. Change the compress as it heats.
Special creams
Means from the first -aid kit often contain menthol, which creates the effect of light freezing.
After switching to warming compresses – this will accelerate the absorption of the hematoma. If the bruise does not pass for more than a week or hurts a lot, it is worth showing it to the doctor.
