At gymnastics training last night she fell on her ankle in a strange way. this morning she was complaining of pain on pressure. is taping sensible ?

Sprain: Would recommend a visit with her pcp or foot/ankle specialist to evaluate the injured ankle and review xrays and insure no fractures. Treatment should include rest and ice and immobilization, as well as elevation to control swelling.
