Possible break or sprain

2017-08-24 18:09:27
I am not with my daughter, age 12. She is visiting relatives and s had fallen off her bike. She had immediate ankle pain (where the bike had fallen on her). Pictures showed quite a bit of swelling in the left ankle and foot. She also has a slight bruise. 200 mg ibuprofen and ice reduced swelling and pain. Cant bare weight on it. Occured 3 hrs ago
