Better to be seen!: If you were scheduled a followup, i would recommend keeping it. This way her ankle can be examined and checked, and she can be cleared to return to any sports, etc. Re-injury with a sprained ankle is common, so it better to err on the side of over-evaluation than under!

Likely not: If she is asymptomatic with no swelling, i think she"ll be okay and you do not have to go. Make sure to cancel the appt though.
