Suggest Remedy For Sprained Ankle
Yes, my daughter sprained her ankle Friday night;she went to the ER and was told that it was sprung and that a blood vessel. The ER wrapped it, but she has been in such much pain with sever burning sensation and also she has a blister on the same foot; the foot is cold to the touch. She went back to the ER again last night and on her way back again to night. What can we do for her?

Hi...the treatment for sprained ankle is complete rest and a POP (Plaster of paris) cast or a crepe bandage keeping the ankle in the correct position of comfort. When the bandage or POP is too tight then the symptoms of blistering and cold limbs occur. I suggest you get back to an orthopedic surgeon and get the bandage loosened appropriately.
