Suggest Remedy For Severe Elbow Pain

Please attach a photo of it.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Can you please attach a photo of this elbow? Otherwise it will be very hard to give valuable answer.
Swollen and painful elbow is usually caused by an inflammation. If its an outer part, there might be fluid collection which needs to be drained. This fluid should be checked for possible bacteria presence. If positive, antibiotic should be given.
You should also start intense treatment including antiinflammatory medicines (Diclophenac), temporal immobilization of the elbow, lukewarm compresses. Such treatment should last at least a week.
This is the best I can tell not being able to see it.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
