Yea about this it is kinda wierd but the best thing to put on is cold and then hot to realx it more then u can put it in warm water with a cream that acn soak it
Heat energy is transferred by conduction from the muscle to the cold pack.
For acute muscle injury (within the first 48 hours), it is recommended to use ice or cold therapy to reduce inflammation and numb pain. After 48 hours or for chronic muscle soreness, heat therapy can help increase blood flow to the area, promote healing, and relax the muscles. It's best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
Shivering generates heat through muscle contractions, which helps to increase body temperature. The rapid muscle movements during shivering require energy, leading to an increase in metabolic rate and heat production, aiding in maintaining body temperature in cold environments.
When you become cold, the body activates processes like shivering and vasoconstriction to generate heat. Shivering helps to produce heat by increasing muscle activity, while vasoconstriction reduces blood flow to the skin and extremities, conserving heat in the core of the body.
Shivering generates heat by increasing muscle activity, which creates friction and generates heat as a byproduct. The rapid contraction and relaxation of muscles during shivering produce heat to help warm up the body when it is cold.
Heat is for therapy, cold is for swelling. If you have a swollen finger you should use ice, you should check with your doctor if the swelling doesn't go down.
Heat for tired cold for swollen heat or cold for sore, let your gut tell you on that one.

No, and it could make it worse. Heat should not be applied to anything swollen. Swelling is usually helped by cold, not heat. But if it is your tonsils, you may need to find out if you need to have them removed.
A cold compress is good for swollen tissues. For tired muscles the best thing is heat or massage.
Cold - ice or an icepak will reduce swelling. Heat packs should not be used until the tissues have regained normal skin temperature, which usually takes 2 or 3 days.
I have just learned that if you have an infection you should NOT use heat. The reason being is that it draws the infection out, and encourages it to spread. Cold is the way to go if you are going to use a compress (although it may be difficult. I know that a warm compress has helped me more than a cold compress.)

Id recommend cold, as it reduces swelling.
