Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Redness In The Ankle Post Injury

about 2 days ago, I was walking out of a store to the parking lot, when my foot tripped on a pot hole, its hard to explain but i stumbled twisting my right ankle, caught myself then twisted it again with that recovery from not eating ashpalt. I was wearing wedge high heels I want to add, didnt notice any real severe pain, continued with my evening, doing alot of walking, with gradual increase of discomfort with my foot/leg. the following day, I woke up with my ankle swollen, and the inner part of my ankle along with the front part moving upwards towards the shin, and tender to touch as if severely bruised. that evenening, only change was the pain and areas have increased, I now send this with the pain, or tenderness to touch is constant, even my pant leg when brushed at spot sends pain that takes my breath, it warm to touch and the redness is still red. if just sitting its moderate ache. HELP what should I do, and what did i do? ( FYI-there are no bite or sting marks)

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It could be a contusion.

As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.

You can also apply ice packs for faster recovery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
