Explanation
The answer to the A pad of lint put on the body to relieve inflammation or stop bleeding is COMPRESS.
A compress, in medical terms, refers to a soft pad or dressing applied to the body to alleviate inflammation or staunch bleeding. Typically made of clean, absorbent material such as gauze or cotton, a compress is soaked in a solution that can be either cold or warm depending on the therapeutic need.
Cold compresses are often used to reduce swelling by constricting blood vessels and numbing nerve endings, which helps to minimize pain and inflammation following injuries or surgeries. On the other hand, warm compresses promote blood circulation and relaxation of muscles, aiding in soothing muscle aches, joint stiffness, or menstrual cramps.
