Ankle sprain
I had an ankle sprain around two and a half months back. i got a swelling at the ankle joint and initialy the pain was minor but slowly by the time pain is incresing rather than decresing. And even after two and a half months the swelling has not reduced even by an inch. I have beem using an ankle binder since two months..i get ice compression twice daily in morning and evening . I tried a one week antibiotic dosage for a week to reduce the swelling but nothing worked its still the same. Kindly advice .
