What kind of nursing work should be done after applying the plaster for periarthritis of shoulder

When using the periarthritis plaster, patients should pay attention to actively cooperate with exercise, because the plaster can promote local blood circulation, so our exercise can speed up blood circulation, absorb the energy of the medicine, and achieve the effect of curing the disease. Patients should avoid catching cold all over the body. Even if the plaster is applied locally, they should wear clothes and add clothes in time according to the changes in temperature. Physical therapy should be done in life.
