What to do for a sprained ankle
My father twisted his ankle while running which has led to a severe sprain. This happened yesterday and ever since then, the pain hasn’t subsided. Can you tell me what one should do for a sprained ankle? We have tried supporting it with a soft cushion and applying ice packs. Additionally, my father took one pain killer as well. Kindly help!
