Ankle Sprain with swelling

2018-08-04 05:14:28
Last week, my ankle was sprained because of being twisted while I was playing squash. I tried icing the affected area to reduce the swelling and also applied iodex regularly but there is no relief. Can you please suggest some other remedies for the same ?
