Hi,
1. After 24 hours of sprain put some salt in lukewarm water and give fomentation.
What is meaning of "fomentation"? It means agitating or stirring up trouble. I think the word the writer was thinking of was 'fermentation', which mean agitate or stir up in a physical/chemical sense.

In the given context, 'foment' has a medical connotation. In a medical community, it means to warm an injured area by applying to it a strip of cloth soaked with hot water or a rubber bag containing hot water.
