Hi,Thanks for your query.After going through your query I came to know that you got injury your ankle. In my opinion it is just a ankle sprain but you should got your x-ray done to rule out fracture. Its treatment is rest to part(immobilization). Putting ice is useful . Analgesic such as diclofenac will be of use for pain.You can take vitamin B-complex and C to promote healing.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.I do hope that you have found something helpful.If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
