Nursing Experience of Herbal Compress Combined with Cold Light Therapy in a Case of Erysipelas
This article summarizes the nursing experience of a patient with erysipelas treated with herbal compress combined with cold light therapy. Based on conventional anti-infection and circulation-improving therapies, a systematic assessment identified key issues, including redness, swelling, pain in the left lower leg, and elevated inflammatory markers. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) nursing interventions—herbal compress and cold light irradiation—were implemented alongside emotional regulation, dietary guidance, and health education. Post-intervention, the patient’s visual analog scale (VAS) pain score decreased from 6 to 2, with marked improvement in redness, swelling, and burning sensations, as well as reduced inflammatory markers, achieving satisfactory outcomes. The results demonstrate that herbal compress combined with cold light therapy effectively alleviates erysipelas symptoms, promotes recovery, and exhibits good safety.
