how wil you treat a sprained ankle?

Answer 1

Initial treatment for an ankle sprain is summarized as the RICE approach: Rest. You may need to use crutches until walking is not painful without them. Ice. For the first 48 to 72 hours or until swelling goes down, apply an ice pack for 10 to 20 minutes every 1 to 2 hours during the day. Compression. Elevation.

Many people simply treat a sprained ankle at home with rest, ice and pain relievers. Severe sprains may need medical evaluation.
