The ankle & foot looks swollen. If the injury has happened due to a twist or fall. I’d recommend her to consult a doctor & get a X-ray done asap.
Next Steps
- Apply a crepe bandage around it & icing it will help with the swelling.
- Consult a orthopaedic surgeon & get a X-ray.
- Keep the leg elevated using two pillows underneath.
Health Tips
Keep the toes and ankle moving. Avoid putting weight till the X-ray is done & any fracture has been ruled out.
