Suggest Treatment For Rashes And Swelling In The Ankles
i have a contusion above my left ankle from a softball hit I received on July 24th. I had it xrayed and it was not broken but the swelling has not gone away. I have also developed a rash, potentially hives over most of my body. Could the hives/rash be related to my ankle/foot injury and swelling

Hello,
As per your history, you can take tab. motrin.
Apply diclofenac gel or ointment with heating pads.
If the swelling is not reducing I would suggest you do MRI ankle joint after consultation.
Keep legs elevated. don't give much pressure on the leg.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
