Your kid fell and sprained his ankle? Or is it your girlfriend? Well if latter’s the case, treating her sprained ankle can help you leave a lasting impression. Leg twisting love story… eh!
So, here’s how you can do it:
First: Give complete rest to the injured ankle. In fact, it is better to stay off the leg as much as possible.

Second: Apply ice pack on the injury right away. Apply ice pack for 20 minutes every hour until the swelling subsides. 

Third: Compress the injured area with an elastic bandage to reduce swelling and immobilize the ankle. Wrap from the foot toward the knee. Make sure that you don’t wrap it so tightly that cut off circulation.

Fourth: Raise the leg above your heart.

Fifth: Use moist heat once swelling in the area has dropped down.

Finally: Begin using the ankle again gradually as pain decreases.
