Suggest Treatment For Bursitis On Elbow
Question: I've developed bursitis on my left elbow, have been using ice and heat but now the elbow has this fluid type bubble ready to burst now sure what to do, should I wrap it in the hopes that it burst naturally?
Brief Answer:
Let it burst naturally.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The bubble on your elbow is like a small boil. It will burst naturally and will release a clear fluid. You can use heat and wrap it and see if it bursts on its own in next few days. Do get adequate antibiotics prescribed to avoid any infection in the area.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
