General Surgeon 's  Response
Yes, she should put Heparin ointment over it twice daily and apply compression bandages like crepe bandage and take oral anti-inflammatory medicines like Paracetamol or Diclofenac sodium twice daily for 3-5 days. She should feel better with these. Take care,
Dr Rishi, India.
