Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Ankle

Hello docter. I tripped over a pallet at work about 2 weeks ago and my ankle was very painful and swollen, plus my foot also. Most of the pain is gone but the ankle and foot is still swollen up until now. I just put Arnica pain cream on it twice a day. Will it get better soon or should I see a doctor because of maybe underlying injury? Any answer is greatly appreciated. Thanks. John B.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I thank you for having faith in Health Care magic and for seeking help on your issue; I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion, the x ray screening of your ankle and foot is a must. In such cases there can be ligamentous injuries which need physical examination and then only things become diagnosed. please consult your ortho doctor
I hope I have been able to provide you with a satisfactory solution, if you want to clear any doubts about my opinion, feel free to contact.
Special note- Any medication prescribed needs to be taken after consultation with your personal doctor only.
Thanks
