Swollen ankle
I had a road accident on 6 April, 2021. My right leg calf area got injured, wounds got recovered. But the stitch wound at the side of right ankle is taking time . My main concern is my swollen ankle which is not yet reduced completely.
For wounds I am using T- bact ointment
For swelling I am suggested by doctor to use Magnesium sulphate salt
Other medicines prescribed are P40, Moxclav 625, Chymoral forte, Signoflam, Shelcal HD
Its been weeks but the recovery is quite slow

It can take upto 3 months for the swelling to come down following injury and immobilisation. You have to be a little patient.
Next Steps
Needs good physiotherapy, limb elevation and continue to consult your treating doctor.
Can video consult with me if you still have any further questions.
