Pain Unable To Go To ER And Pregnant

A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭
Toledo, OH

Goodmorning I was in a car accident on the 27th prior to the accident I had a flare up in my underarm that seemed to subside with Tylenol and my heating pad. After the accident, I think with all the stress it came back worse. I’m not sure what to do I typically opt out of antibiotic treatment and allow the area to heal with home remedies but this pain is terrible and I’m scared. I don’t have a way to get to the ER… what should I do?

Sometimes if you use a hot and wet compress it will make it open up faster than a dry one just be careful:(

So sorry to hear you are dealing with this while pregnant. You can try aloe vera gel 100%. And do the heat compressions and if you can, "my magic healer" may also help. Wishing you the best.

I have been using salycilic acid spray and it has been working wonders.
