How Can Ankle Sprain Be Treated?

Hello,
As the symptoms persist, It is better to consult an orthopedician and get an MRI scan to rule out tendon or ligament involvement.
As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
