there are 3 concerns here
1. Have you done an xray of the ankle and foot to rule out any underlying fracture and/or ligamentous injury .
2.is there any fever, warm to touch , or tenderness to rule out development of cellulitis in the affected foot.
3. If stitches are out by themselves is there any infection like blood with pus release from the site of the stitches
advising medications like snacks is not the duty of a doctor rather evaluating and asking questions is .
Do connect if you need any further advice

Minor symptoms commonly observed after surgery are usually not a cause for concern. In most cases, these can be effectively managed with minimal medical intervention and simple home remedies. However, it's important to monitor for any signs of complications. Do connect if you can.
