What Causes Swollen Foot And Ankle After A Fall?

I fell a week ago tonight. My toes went in under my foot. My whole foot is still purple and swollen almost doubled as well as my ankle. I can not bend two of my toes. I have one of those boots that you use when you have broken a leg. Any suggestions?

For swollen foot and ankle after a fall you can take some antibiotic preferably cefadroxyl or ampoxin after an expert advice along with combiflam or ibugesic-plus for swelling and inflammation. You can also use powergesic or volidup gel for local application. You can do hot fomentation over ankle to reduce the swelling and inflammation as well as pain also.
