Swelling

Swelling, also known as edema, is a common symptom characterized by the accumulation of excessive fluid and/or cells within body tissues. This can result in increased size, discomfort, and reduced function of the affected area. Various factors, including injury, infection, allergy, and underlying medical conditions, can cause swelling.
Para Pharmacy offers a comprehensive range of medications to address and manage swelling. Our inventory includes both over-the-counter remedies and prescription-strength formulations. Common over-the-counter options include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, to help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. Topical treatments containing hydrocortisone may be helpful for localized swelling.
For more severe or persistent swelling, a healthcare professional may prescribe more potent medications, such as corticosteroids, diuretics, or vasodilators. Additionally, certain medical devices, including compression garments and elevation supports, can assist in controlling swelling.
Please consult your healthcare provider before initiating any medication to ensure the appropriate treatment option for your specific condition.
