Help! my sisters fell down a ravine! how should i treat a possible broken ankle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Needs med eval.: If you think it might be broken then she needs medical evaluation to include history, physical examination and appropriate radiographic studies. Use rice too - rest the ankle, ice it intermittently, compress & elevate.
