Suggest Remedy For Brownish Bruise On Ankles

I have an ankle sprain I believe. It has brownish and blueish bruises around the bone and right under at the top of the foot, tenderness and warmth is not where the bone is though. I feel a little under the weather though, is that normal during the healing process?

Hi,

Let me tell you that the symptoms described by you suggest that you have an ankle sprain. Yes, it normal during the healing process. I recommend you treat mild sprains at home.
- Utilizing versatile gauzes, (for example, an ACE swathe) to wrap your lower leg, however not very firmly
- Wearing a support to help your lower leg
- Utilizing props, if necessary
- Raising your foot with cushions as important to lessen expanding
- Taking ibuprofen, (for example, Advil) or acetaminophen, (for example, Tylenol) to oversee torment

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
