Need Treatment For Swollen Foot And Ankle After An Accident
A couple of weeks ago I jammed my 2 right toes against a dresser and since then my foot and ankle have swollen. I have been icing it and now my toes are much better, but there s still swelling on the foot and ankle. I m wondering if icing is the best thing to treat this injury.

Hello,
It could be a contusion probably.
Fracture is unlikely.
As first-line management, you can apply ice packs for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
