More About swelling
Swelling is a way our body heals. When we get hurt, blood comes to help. This makes the area big and soft. It is a sign that our body is working hard. Swelling can happen to anyone. Kids and grown-ups can both get it.
When we rest, the swelling can go down. We can put ice on it to help. Drinking water is good too. It helps our body feel better. If the swelling does not go away, we should tell a grown-up.
Sometimes, swelling can be from other things too. Like when we eat too much salt. It can make our hands or feet puffy. It is good to eat healthy food to help our body stay strong.
