cold compress
Ice pack alternative
A cold compress is a pad or cloth soaked in cold water or wrapped around ice, applied to the body to reduce swelling, ease pain, or lower temperature.
Apply a cold compress to the bruise for twenty minutes.
The cold constricts blood vessels and numbs the area, making it a standard first-aid treatment for minor injuries.
