Ankle injuries can be painful and persistent. It is important to immediately elevate the ankle in case of an injury. Use an ice-pack 2-3 times a day to reduce the swelling around the ankles. Use the cold therapy for 15-20 minutes. Take pain and anti-inflammatory medication as advised by the doctor and rest the ankle to help it recover fast.
