Hello,
It might be due to underlying Muscle
injury. The red patches & Swelling could be Ethythema and sudden
sprain at the thigh area.
Treatment-
1. Ice Pack Application (Twice/Thrice a Day)
2. Rest (For a couple of days)
3. Avoid Sports/Strenuous Activities
4. Loose clothes to avoid Wear & Tear of sore area.
5. If the pain persists for another 2 days, then take these Medicines-
Tab Signoflam - 1BD, Tab Pan 40- 1OD (Empty Stomach), Tab
Enzomac - 1OD (Empty Stomach).
Take these drugs for 5-7 days.
6. If the Symptoms persists even after 1 week of the treatment, then visit a local Orthopaedics Specialist and might go for further Investigations.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Saurabh Singh Rajan,
