Q. How to manage bruising and pain in the middle of the knee?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I appreciate that you have chosen icliniq for your medical needs.

Yes, you need to wear a kneecap or an elastocrepe bandage. Apply ice over the area twice daily. I suggest you take the following:

1. Take a tablet of Etoricoxib 60 mg one during the day and another at night for 10 days after food.
2. Take a tablet of Rabeprazole 20 mg one during the day and another at night for 10 days before food.

Take these tablets only if you are not allergic to them. Do not take these tablets if you are a known case of bronchial asthma. Kindly follow up immediately in case of any untoward reactions. Avoid doing any activities that cause pain for 10 days.

I wish you healthy and happy times ahead. Do get back if you have any further queries.

Thank you.
