Suggest treatment for swollen painful ankle after an injury
Patient: Hello! I fell down 2 stairs carrying a box and landed wrong on my foot. Now I have a burning sensation at the outside top and outside of ankle and it has a dull ache and if I move it much a sharp pain. What do u think I have done? YYYY@YYYY Doctor: Hi,  Most probably it is due to sprain or contusion. As a first line management you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief.  You can also apply ice packs for faster recovery. If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopedics and get evaluated.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
