Can paracetamol help ankle pain?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: Depends on what's causing the ankle pain? Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is a pain reliever yes, but it does not repair any damage to the ankle, if relevant, or remove pathology.

If due: To inflammation it will be of little help. Nsaids are proper drug of choice.
