Question: Sprained my ankle yesterday, am able to put weight on it and walk. Iced it and elevated it but have developed blisters.
Brief Answer:
Avoid infection in the area.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The presence of pain in the area can be due to a simple sprain or a mild bone injury. This needs an X-ray to rule out a fracture. If there are blisters then there is every chance of an infection or a foreign body in the area. You need proper antibiotics and a tetanus shot to take care of the infection. In addition to the supportive treatment you are already taking do consult your physician for an X-ray and prescription antibiotics.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
