It is recommended to actively treat inflammation. Disinfect the affected area locally with povidone-iodine and apply erythromycin ointment to prevent adhesions due to infection; avoid contact with water. Use a cotton swab dipped in povidone-iodine to clean the area and keep it clean and hygienic. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Avoid spicy foods. Pain symptoms will gradually subside as the inflammation resolves. For severe pain, take ibuprofen sustained-release capsules for relief.
