Immediately apply cold compresses using cold water or a towel wrapped around ice to the strained elbow joint muscles to prevent swelling. After the strain, immobilize the area as soon as possible with a cast or brace to prevent further ligament damage and reduce pain and swelling symptoms following the injury. It is recommended to use blood-activating and stasis-resolving plasters or medications to relieve pain. Patients should also maintain a light diet and avoid spicy and greasy foods.
