What is the treatment for bursitis?

Answer by  scigirl (129)

Bursitis not cause by an infection is usually treated with ice, elevation of problem limb, rest, and ibuprofen to help the pain and swelling. The treatment for bursitis that is cause by an infection is slightly more complicated and will require antibiotics and possibly surgery.

First use an ice pack over the inflammation, this helps reduce the swelling. As much as possible relax the affected area.
