Answer 2

Apply an ice pack covered in by tea towel on the sprained area, and hold it there for as long as you can until it becomes unbearably cold, then take it off, let the sprain rest for a while can then put the ice pack back on. Keep doing this procedure until the sprain feel slightly better, then put the effected area in a bandage. Always keep the sprain elevated, and do not put too much weight on it. If the pain comes back, put the ice pack on again and take the correct amount of paracetamol or ibuprofen for your age. If you are allergic or do not have access to either of these, keep the ice pack on and do an activity (not a physical one) to take your mind off the pain. If these instructions do not work, I would suggest going to a doctor (an emergency doctor if it is the weekend if necessary) or if the pain get very bad, go to the hospital to have an x-ray. If you have a sprained wrist wrap and ice it. I wouldn 't write a lot either. If you are in school, maybe (if parents approve) miss TWO or THREE P.E. lessons. Don't write too much unless you are in school as I said. Whatever you do, don't do a lot of acting things. You can take your dog or rabbit for a walk of course but nothing more physical than that.

Answer 3

You should obviously ice it. Wrap your elbow with a stretchy bandage when you can't ice it. Try to limit the use of your elbow drink plenty of water. Get plenty of sleep because when you sleep, your body heals injuries. I hope your elbow is better!

Answer 4

A sprained arm can be a very frustrating injury, especially for those who use their arms frequently on a day to day basis. The easiest form of treatment for such an injury is a lot of rest. Moving a hurt arm around a lot can cause more damage than a person would want, so depending on the severity of the injury a sling may be suggested. Ice is another good treatment and is recommended that the patient ice their injury for 20 minutes every hour or so. Compression and elevation are also some good ideas in a quick recovery. Compressing the injured area with an ace bandage and elevating it with a pillow will help the blood flow better, allowing for a quick and smooth recovery.

Answer 5

Treatment for a sprained arm typically involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE). Over-the-counter pain medications can help manage pain and swelling. In more severe cases, a doctor may recommend physical therapy or immobilization with a splint or brace.

Answer 6

The only way to heal a sprained arm is to just rest it. You can't heal it other than by waiting.

Answer 7

You rub heat-rub on it and bandage it till it heals and give it lots of rest for about a week.
