To treat sprains effectively and quickly, follow the RICE method: Rest the injured area, Ice the area to reduce swelling, Compress the area with a bandage, and Elevate the injured limb. Additionally, consider taking over-the-counter pain medication and seeking medical attention if the pain persists or if there is severe swelling or inability to bear weight on the injured limb.
