Are there any home remedies that can help alleviate ankle sprain pain and swelling?

Asked 4 years ago

Hey, I have recently sprained my ankle and the pain and swelling are unbearable. The doctor says I should just rest it. While doing so, I'm looking for some home remedies that can help alleviate the pain and reduce the swelling. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Of course. You can try the RICE method. REST your ankle (immobilise it), ICE the area for 15-20 minutes, COMPRESS the area with an elastic bandage but not too tight, and ELEVATE your ankle to reduce swelling.
