This article will discuss how to immobilize sprained thumbs with a bandage. Let's start by going over the causes, symptoms and treatment for a sprained hand. Then, we will show you how to apply a bandage on a sprained thumb and hand.
Signs
The symptoms of a sprain are swelling and pain. It is possible to treat the injury using over-the–counter pain medication, or the ER might administer non-steroidal-anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), via an IV or other medicine. In a few days, the swelling and pain will subside. To reduce swelling and pain, cold packs can be applied to the thumb.
Causes
A sprained finger can result in pain, swelling, and tenderness on the thumb's base. They may be mild or serious and may cause problems with grasping or moving the thumb. It is normal to experience swelling that can last for up to seven days after an injury. The severity of the sprain might require surgery. You should consult a doctor immediately if this happens.
Treatment
The treatment for a sprained thumb is to immobilize the joint, typically the thumb. A thumb spicacast can be used to immobilize your thumb. The type of injury and severity will be determined by your doctor. It is important to remember that immobilization can cause stiffness. Stretches can be used to relieve stiffness.
Use a bandage to keep a sore thumb in place
Immobilizing a sprained wrist or thumb is a great way to prevent further damage. The bandage will keep fluid from collecting around the sprained joint, and it will also help your hand heal quicker. In severe cases, your healthcare provider may recommend that you use a splint. Your doctor will direct you to the right course of action.
A sprained thumb can be treated with pain relievers
A sprained hand or thumb can cause severe pain and may require medical attention. This condition is usually treated by rest and immobilization. However, some cases require surgery.
As a substitute for a bandage, you can use a rolled socks
Using a rolled sock to wrap a sprained thumb is an alternative to using a bandage. This bandage should be used with care. The bandage must be a snug fit, without cutting off circulation. Pay attention to the position of your fingers and toes.
Avoid infecting infected wounds
Avoid touching infected wounds. The infection can lead to swelling and increased pain if germs enter the wound. This can even lead to fever and chills. Although minor wound infections can be treated at home, severe infections require medical attention. Infected wounds tend to get worse over time. By noticing an increase in redness around the wound, you can determine if your wound has infection.
