The abbreviation RICE stands for Rest, Icing, Compression, and Elevation, which are the most important elements of first aid for many injuries, including strains, sprains, and contusions:
·
Rest: Avoid using the injured area.
·
Ice: Apply ice packs to the area, but don't let them touch the skin directly.
·
Compression: Wrap the injured area with an elastic bandage to support it and reduce swelling.
·
Elevation: Keep the injured area raised above the level of your heart to reduce swelling
The RICE method is effective in reducing pain and swelling, and promoting healing. It's best for treating mild or moderate injuries. If the pain hasn't improved after 24-48 hours, you should see a doctor. You should also seek medical attention if you are unable to put any weight on the injured area, or if the injured area is numb or misshapen.
