Should Sprain In Ankle Repaired For Ligament Damage Be Treated Immediately?
Hello, As per your history, it may be due to muscle strain. For further assessment kindly do MRI foot after consultation. Till then you can take tablet acetaminophen. Apply diclofenac gel. Heating pads will help. Restrict your movements. Use support while walking. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shyam B.
