Hi Welcome to HCm
I have gone thru your query regarding your sprained swollen ankle ,and I can understand your concern . In case of any injury ,if swelling and pain persists An xray is advised to ascertain the position if there is need of plastering so that further damage should not happen . You should go to a specialist for proper treatment Asap Turmeric powder a spoon in a cup of hot milk in BF and at bed time helps alleviate pain and swelling faster . Rest and intake of proper nourishing diet is also helpfull in early recovery . Hope this helps solves your query .Take care , All the best .Wish Get well soon .
