Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling On Ankles

I had hurt my ankle a little during track last week but I figured I'd be fine but today it really hurt so I was kind of favoring it while walking but then I tried to take a normal step on it and it cracked and my whole foot hurt but I figured I was fine but its been killing all day and I noticed my whole foot/ankle was a little swollen at work what do I do

Hi,

Thanks for contacting. Do hot and cold therapy (take one bucket of lukewarm water and one bucket of cold water. Dip your leg in lukewarm water for 3 mins then in cold water for one min do it 7-10 times) for one week, do less walking. Be careful while stairs climbing, elevate your legs while sitting or lying, apply crepe bandage. It will relieve the swelling, do active exercises of toes and ankle, don't wear tight shoes or heel shoes.

I hope it will help you and you will find the answer useful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harsh Swarup
