Is it best to put something cold or hot on swollen ankle?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Cold: As a general rule, ice/cold packs help reduce swelling. Elevation of the swollen part is also helpful.

COLD IF RECENT: If it's a recent injury, ice 10-15 min/hour but not directly on the skin, is best. Also elevation. Dr. Latva
