Take rest with limited weight bearing on the affected leg. Apply Ice pack at least 4 times a day. Continue crepe bandage and the pain relief ointment. Keep the leg up most of the time- over 2 pillows while lying down and over a footstool while sitting. Do not keep the leg hanging. Take Tab Chymoral AP three times a day after food for 5 days.

Consult if problem continues even after following this advice.
