Hello, I just tripped and scrapped my knee. The pain is not that bad anymore but it did scrape slightly bad, I am due to fly in 48 hours for 23 hours +. Is it ok? What should I do to make it heal faster or not be that bad when flying. Can post picture.
Hi, thanks for writing to Chat Doctor .you seem to have a soft tissue injury of your knee please take following treatment:1. Apply ice packs 4-5 times in a day2. Keep your leg elevated. While sitting keep it on a chair or table and while lying down keep it on 2 pillows3. You can take mild analgesic like acetaminophen or ibuprofen this should take care of your problem hope I have been of help if satisfied please do not forget to rate my reply thanks
