What Causes Redness,burning Sensation And Swollen Ankle?
Hello, I understand your concern. The symptoms seem to be related to a strain ankle. I suggest to rest (avoid irritating it), ice pack 3 times daily for 10 minutes, compression 24/7, and as much elevation as you can. If it gets worse over the next several days, you should consult an orthopedist for further evaluation. Sounds like a common sprain, and i know some people forgot a minor twist until 2 days later when the symptoms develop. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
