Patients can apply local cold compress within 48 hours after injury and hot compress after 48 hours to promote blood absorption, reduce swelling and relieve pain, and recover after a period of time.
2. The symptoms are very serious
If the patient's symptoms are serious, accompanied by pain, foot joint deformity or limb movement disorder, he should go to the hospital in time and check whether there is ligament injury or fracture through B-ultrasound and CT. At this point, ask the patient to rest, give ice and pressure dressing. Protect joints with braces and brakes to avoid heavy loads. Anti-inflammatory painkillers can be used to relieve pain, swelling and other symptoms. Commonly used drugs are aspirin and ibuprofen.
If the ligament injury is serious, especially accompanied by other ligament tears, cartilage injuries or fractures, it may be necessary to reconstruct the ligament surgically. In addition, if proper rehabilitation treatment is carried out, but the knee continues to be unstable, surgery can also be considered. Surgical methods include incision and arthroscopy. Minor fractures can be fixed with plaster for about 4-6 weeks, while severe fractures lead to obvious bone displacement, so corresponding surgical treatment should be taken.
Patients with ligament injury should maintain a good attitude in their daily life, actively cooperate with the treatment, take medicine according to the doctor's advice, do a good job in sports protection, avoid strenuous joint activities, avoid standing for a long time, pay attention to rest, and try to correct bad living habits.

How long can sprained ankle lateral bulge be cured?
The swelling of the lateral ankle usually takes 4-6 weeks to recover, as follows:
First, if the bulge on the lateral ankle is caused by trauma, it is usually local soft tissue contusion and ligament injury. After fixation, immobilization, limb elevation and cold compress treatment, it can gradually recover.

After 24 hours, it can be treated with hot compress, which can increase the local tissue temperature, accelerate blood circulation, promote metabolism, and achieve the purpose of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and relieving pain. Moreover, hot compress can also increase the ductility of soft tissue, avoid joint stiffness, effectively promote tissue regeneration and achieve the purpose of relieving pain.

Second, ice or hot compress.
After spraining the ankle, it will become more and more swollen. In order to control the generation of blood stasis within 24 hours, cold compress can be applied to the injured part, which can relieve the symptoms of bleeding and swelling and relieve the pain. Remember that you can't soak your feet with hot water at this time, but after more than 24 hours, you can use hot water to compress and improve local blood circulation.
Third, avoid walking in the fields.
Pay attention to rest after ankle sprain, especially don't walk in the field during wound repair, which will increase the burden on the sprained part and hinder the healing speed. It usually takes about ten days to stay in bed. When the injury improves, you can exercise properly and practice walking step by step.
Fourth, fix the sprained part.
After spraining the ankle, it is best to fix the sprained part, because if it is not fixed, many people will repeatedly pull the injured part, hinder healing, and may also lead to instability of the ankle joint, and finally form a habitual sprained ankle.
