What medicine is good for bruises and injuries from falls or blows?

Contusions and sprains usually refer to soft tissue injuries, such as muscles, ligaments, and tendons, or minor fractures caused by external forces like impacts, falls, or twists. The following are commonly used medications for contusions and sprains:

1. Acute phase: During the first 48-72 hours after injury, cold compresses should be primarily used to reduce swelling and pain.

2. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic drugs: These medications inhibit the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects. Commonly used topical medications include diclofenac diethylamine gel, while oral medications include ibuprofen capsules and celecoxib capsules. However, these drugs may cause gastrointestinal irritation and should be taken after meals.

3. Blood circulation-promoting and blood stasis-resolving drugs: During the recovery phase, these medications can be used to improve local blood circulation, accelerate the absorption of blood stasis, and alleviate swelling. Topical medications include pain-relieving plasters for promoting blood circulation, while oral medications include herbs like Mutong Shengtong Pian (herbal pain-relieving tablets) and Sanqi Shang Yao Pian (Panax notoginseng tablets for injuries).

4. Antibiotics: In cases of open wounds with contamination, antibiotics are necessary to prevent infection.

For severe fractures or injuries, it is important to seek medical examination and treatment at a正规 hospital.
