Brief Answer:
Ankle swelling big toe painful

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome

I appreciate your concern

If a fracture was ruled out by an Orthopaedic surgeon then the inflammation needs to be countered by NSAIDS like Acetaminophen(Tylenol) along with Ibuprofen for at least 2 to 3 weeks. Serratiopeptidase (may need a prescription for this) can also be added for adequate healing along with proper rest and immobilization.

Let me know if you have any query.

Wishing you the best of health.

Thanks
