Banged my left yesterday getting out of a Jeep in Gran Canaria. Big bruise has formed and is a little painful and hot to touch. Have applied Thrombocid forte 5mg supplied by pharmacist today. and have been icing it. Have I done enough? Am on holiday here til next Monday. Thanks
Big bruise develops due to collection of blood under the skin .it will take some time to resolve. In addition to Rest, ice and thrombosis you can take an analgesic such as ibuprofen to decrease pain. If pain, redness and local temperature suddenly increases, it means it got infected .then u will have to consult your physician and start antibiotic. Hope this answers your question.
