Severe infection in ankle 3 weeks ago antibiotics took infection away but still have pain when i touch my ankle or something hits it, what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Give it time: If there still is redness or swelling, of if you have fever, check back with the doctor treating you. If it's pain only and these other things are improving, give it time. Pain following infection may last several weeks before clearing up.
