"I sprained my ankle, what should I do?"

If you have sprained your ankle, it is best to apply ice wrapped in a damp towel for 10 to 15 minutes as often as needed throughout the day. Taking Tylenol can help alleviate the pain. If you are not pregnant or trying to conceive, do not have any allergies or contraindications, taking ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, and other brands) can also provide relief until you can see a doctor.
