Best thing for a swollen ankle is rest, ice, compression, and elevation. If you have pain and/or continued swelling, I would recommend seeing your local podiatrist.
ice and antiinflammatory
Hi! It depends on the cause of the swelling. In general ice and compression can help with swelling. I would recommend an evaluation for the cause of the swelling to further answer your question.
The answer is "it depend" , depend on the root cause of the swelling, so please consult a doctor on this.
I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle specialist (podiatrist) for diagnosis and treatment options
That is dependent on the cause/pathology of the pain. See my many responses on this topic at this venue.
