Ankle sprained 17april, no fracture.taking stillpain & antiflamatory drugs. daily frm 9pm to 3am ankle swells, high body temp & pain.what must i do?i
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ankle pain: Ankle sprains often do not heal quickly because people walk on the ankle. Much more information is needed to answer this. What is important is to understand is why you have a "high temp" -is it a fever (temp 100.4 or greater)? Is it possible infection or fracture not seen on the original x rays? Look up Ottawa rules
