Suggest Treatment For Painful Bruise On Arm Post Injury
12 days ago my husband injured his arm at work. He had equipment that weighed several 100 lbs fall on his arm. It was x rayed and was not broken. This evening he developed some bruising and is starting to experience some burning pain down his arm. Should this be cause for concern?

HI
Well come to HCM
Because of injury there could be soft tissue swelling with bleeding beneath the skin and that night be the reason for bruising and burning if no open wound is there then nothing to worry, it is advisable to keep the arm in sling for some days I would suggest the following medicines
1) Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three times in day
2) Tab Cefdinir 300 mg twice in day for 5 days
hope this information helps, have a nice day.
