Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling In The Ankle

I injured my ankle on Saturday. I was walking and it went all the way to the side. The swelling has went down some. I have elevated it, took pain medicine but it s till a little swollen. It hurts where the bone is in that area. It is tender to touch. I can walk or stand on it but not for long. If I put all my weight on that foot it hurts. Certain positions I am in hurts. If I stretch my foot out or move it forward it hurts. Pain shoots through my ankle/leg.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
hello
how are you doing today?Did u consult a doctor?

I think you should follow up and take an X ray to confirm its not a hair line fracture.

You might be having an ankle sprain best treatment for this is applying a crepe bandage over sprained area for a week and ankle elevation.
You should take rest atleast for a week and should also apply any pain killer gel or spray over that area.

You can take Chymoral Forte 50mg BD x1 week
if pain and swelling persists.
I find this answer helpful
