  2. wear compression socks

In seeking medical treatment, if Damon is unable to see his primary care physician then he should probably do his first aid and then consult to a doctor afterwards.

What do you mean by primary care physician?

  • "These are a health care practitioner who sees people that have common medical problems."

What is first aid?

  • "The treatment given to the patient/person having minor or major illness or injury before the doctor's arrival is called first air or primary treatment."
  • It reduces the condition from worsening and helps to recover fast.
  • For example: If you hurt your ankle and is able to slightly walk on it, but it is painful and swollen and you cannot see your primary care physician immediately, then should massage that part with an ice pack, apply ointment and then cover it by a bandage. If you still feel any pain or you are not sure about your aid, you can consult to your doctor.

Hence, he should probably do his first aid and then go to the doctor.
