[|Human|] Hi, I got ankle sprained 3 days ago, got X-ray, it is not a fracture but high ankle sprain. I could walk little with limp. Swelling is there on ankle but OK. and I could bear the pain while little walk. Question is- why I am having a swelling on front foot after ankle, I had elevated the leg while sleeping and this swelling is there from 2nd day of injury. There is no pain in the swollen area. doc have given following tabs- celin-100,nucoxia,pantocid and started taking these from 3rd day of injury.
[|AI|]  Hello, What I can infer from your history is that you have an ankle sprain; that is simply you have got a ligament injury which will take about 3 weeks to heal completely. As advised by your doctor, continue the medications. I would also suggest you to use a crêpe bandage to give mild compression at the ankle joint; this you can use throughout the day and not at night.  I would also suggest you not to take part in any sports and avoid twisting your ankle for 3 weeks. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
