Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
if Xray is normal fracture is ruled out. If you have sprained your ankle and pain is not relieved with medications and RICE method your ankle and foot should be splinted in below knee slab. Keep it elevated on two pillows all the time and avoid weight bearing. Tab chymoral forte twice a day before meals helps in reducing swelling . Tab diclofenac sodium 50 mg twice a day helps in reducing inflammation and pain. If this doesn't help please consult orthopaedic surgeon nearby your area.
