A member asked:
I fractured my ankle 8 days ago and will be on honeymoon on monday for 10 days . will drinking alcohol affect the swelling negatively"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It should not: Drinking alcohol in moderation should have no impact on the swelling in your ankle. However, use of Tylenol / acetaminophen and drinking alcohol together increases risk of liver damage (ibuprofen would be ok). Enjoy your honeymoon, and congratulations!!
