Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to an ankle sprain. I suggest to use anti inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg. I also suggest using cold compresses at the area and a brace to prevent further damage. I recommend to maintain the ankle elevated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
