How Should Ankle Swelling, Tingling, Bruising And Pain Be Treated?

I rolled my ankle a week ago. I stepped on a tree root. I have kept it wrapped most of time and started walking on crutches Friday. I ve had some swelling as day progresses and now I feel tingling in mt ankle with some pain. I ve had minimal bruising as well. It has gotten worse rather than better for a week. Should I be concerned? Should I go to doctor?

Hi,

You should have concern about your ankle.

Try to avoid running jumping upstairs for about 3 weeks.

Take aceclofenac+serratiopeptidase three times a day by prescription of your local doctor.

Apply hot fermentation for 30 mins in morning and evening.

No need to go to doctor if pain subside with in 5 days.

Thanks.

Dr.Singh.
