Suggest Medication For Slight Swelling And Discomfort On Right Arm
I had fistula surgery yesterday on my upper right arm. When I left the hospital, they said NOT to put ice on the site. but there is some slight swelling and it is uncomfortable. ICE would definitely help it be more comfortable. Is there a reason I shouldn t put ice on it?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The swelling following a surgery can be secondary to the inflammation because of the soft tissue injury. Nothing to be panic, you can take an antiinflammatory drugs like serratiopeptidase. Do not give cold application after 24hours because it can lead to hematoma again.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
