Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your doctor has given you right treatment.
At this stage you should give rest to your ankle.
You can take analgesics with serratopeptidase tablets. It will help in reducing swelling.
You should use crepe bandage for immobilization.
If it is still persistent,you can consult orthopaedician.
New bruise may appear due to fresh subtle trauma.
Get well soon.
Take care
