[|Human|] hi, my son had dislocated is elbow two days ago, a complete dislocation, the x-rays shows no fractures or chips, my question is that what is the best way to get his swelling down in his hand, he has it elevated most of the time just wondering if it just a time thing, has an opp. with a orthapedic in two weeks thanks
[|AI|]  Hello! I read carefully your query and understand your concern. It is normal that after such injury the elbow area will be swollen, painful and red. If the X-ray show no fracture than the swelling will go gradually. You can put some cold compresses in his arm, continue to keep his hand elevated. Give him Ibuprofen for the pain and inflammation. Wait some more days and if his swelling hasn't improved at all you should consult his doctor to evaluate again his arm. Hope my answer has helped. Take care Chat Doctor.
