⢠Sports Taping.
⢠Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment where a limb or the entire body is immersed in warm water followed by the immediate immersion of the limb or body in ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.

If there has been an injury, rest, ice packs, compression bandage and limb elevation is must for first week along with an xray of the ankle. Considering a soft tissue injury’s severe, plaster immobilisation shall be imperative.
Consider visiting your orthopaedic surgeon. Thanks
