How To Cure Bruise And Swelling Of The Ankles?
Hi,
I sprained my ankle on Friday morning, ankle bone touched the floor, instant agony. I have been icing and resting my foot and the swelling has gone down and just left with a bruise and ache. What has happened now is my 2nd toe from the big toe has swollen up and very hot to touch.

Hi
Thanks for writing your query
My advice for you is compare the look of feet (2nd toe and ankle), and see for deformity and movement present. If deformed, bruises present with limited movement then visit a local doctor for x ray. Otherwise continue with ice fomentation, ibuprofen(pain killer), limb elevation and compression bandage.
Take care and wish you good health
