Does Intake Of Tylenol Help In Curing Swelling And Heat In Ankle?
Not sure if I can take an otc anti inflammatory to control swelling and heat in the ankle following repair of a trimalleolar fracture in late Novmember. I take Tiazac and Xarelto. I have started to walk now, after 7 weeks of no weight bearing, so some inflammation is naturally occurring now. The surgeon recommended I take an anti inflammatory when I had a follow up appt. with him today. Is Tylenol, a non anti inflammatory my only option?

There are other otc drugs like advil which can be taken after meals thrice a day alongwith pantaprazole on empty stomach once in morning, till you get to your doctor for prescription medicines. Do hot fomentation and keep foot elevated, do toes exercises and mild ankle movements also, apply voltaren gel after hot fomentation twice a day
