Hello there.... Swollen ankles occur when fluid is retained in the spaces between our cells.. Treatment for a swollen ankle will depend on the diagnosis.....
In most cases, elevation of the foot to eight inches above the level of the heart is recommended for a swollen extremity. This increases blood return without significantly decreasing the flow of oxygen-rich blood into the foot. ....Consult Orthopedician for further evaluation.....
