How To Treat Pain In Foot After A Fall?

My daughter was playing volleyball and fell while spiking the ball. She is not sure which side of her foot/ankle she fell on. She indicates the ankle does not hurt. She indicates that her foot hurts in front of the ankle on the outside lower part of foot. She has been icing it for about 4 hours. There may be some slight swelling. She indicates there is not shooting pain and after she starts walking a little bit then it starts to hurt. It also hurts on the inside of her foot below the ankle but there is no swelling there. Any suggestions?

Hi
Thanks for your query
After going through your query I came to know that your daughter had injury ankle while playing volleyball and fell while spiking the ball. It seems to me soft tissue injury (sprain). X-ray may be done to exclude fracture. Putting ice is OK . She should not use it till it pains. Splint can be used to rest it. Leg should be keep elevated on pillow to reduce swelling.Analgesic such as diclofenac will be of use for pain.You can take vitamin B-complex and C to promote healing. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
