  4. Swelling near ankle. From the sprain?

Swelling near ankle

2018-07-14 18:41:14
Hi, I was playing badminton and my ankle got twisted at a mild/slow pace, resulted into sprain. Next day it swelled and after 3-4 days it started to become normal, swelling decreased. After 4 days, I played TT, and put pressure on my foot and it started again paining and got sprain again. I didn't use any medicine or gel on the effected area. Now a week later, I am thinking should I consult a doctor. Is it something serious or do I need to just rest to cure from the sprain?

Ankle sprain needs 4-6weeks of rigid immobilisation with a case or slab. Do not ignore injury now, as you may be left with swelling and pain if no treatment is taken.
Next Steps
Get x-rays done to rule out fracture . Apply ice packs locally.
