Biliary Inflammations

Dr Abbott

Dr Abbott says...

Gall and Cold

"It is inadvisable to use the ice bag in (empyema of the gall bladder), since it tends to to cause firm contraction of the muscular coat and might occasion rupture of the gall bladder. In fact, it is a principle which should be quite generally followed that inflammations of the hollow viscera are best treated by hot applications. This is also true of the urinary bladder. The spasm of the muscles occasioned by the inflammation is relaxed and the congestion decreased (by heat)."
