"I have a sprained ankle and it is swollen, what should I do?"

If you have a sprained ankle that is swollen, you can try taking Advil to help with the pain and swelling. It is also recommended to continue icing the area for 10-15 minutes several times a day. It is normal for there to be swelling early after an injury, but it's a good idea to have it evaluated by a doctor or physiotherapist to come up with a realistic treatment plan. Most health insurance plans cover these services.
