Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a blood clot in leg,spent one month in hospital after a clot traveled to my lungs. The day I was released the swelling was gone, but within a day of being home and up moving around it swelled up almost twice the normal size. Question is can I do hot bath, or at least warm bath with epsom salt?
Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have thrombus in your leg. There is chance that thrombus detached small pieces of blood clot in circulation and goes to lung. It is known as thromboembolism. You should take warferrin to prevent embolism. You can take hot bath. No any harm in that. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
