How to deal with sprain? Rule out the fracture first

It's painful when you move. Sometimes you can even feel some liquid flowing in the sprain, and then it slowly swells up. That's tissue fluid oozing out.

At this point, immediately find a hard flat object, clamp the joint to play a fixed effect, to make the joint completely immobile, and then tied up. Then go to the hospital for filming

During this period, do not rub the sprained part, so as not to cause re bleeding or continuous exudation of tissue fluid.
