How long should a compression bandage be left on?
I'm curious to know, how long is the recommended duration for keeping a compression bandage in place? Is there a specific timeframe that's typically advised, or does it vary depending on the injury or medical condition? And, if so, what are some factors that could influence how long a compression bandage should stay on? Additionally, are there any potential risks or side effects associated with leaving a compression bandage on for too long or taking it off too soon?

What can I use instead of a compression bandage?
Could you elaborate on potential alternatives to a compression bandage, given that they are often used to apply pressure to wounds to control bleeding and reduce swelling? Are there any household items or readily available medical supplies that could serve a similar purpose, such as clean cloths or elastic bandages? Are there any considerations I should make when choosing a substitute, such as the size of the wound or the level of bleeding? Is it SAFE to use non-traditional methods, or should I always seek medical attention for proper wound care?
