2 days back my husband met an accident at that time his right foot gets twisted which results in swelling and pain at ankle part. He went for an x - ray, that report shows there is no problem with the bone. But the pain and swelling persists from 2 days. We didn't consult any doctor because of present panic situation so please suggest any home remedies and medication for that problem.

Rest prevents further injury and avoids stress on already inflamed tissue. Put the ankle joint at rest by wearing a brace or splint. Ice is probably the best treatment. Ice will counteract the increased blood flow to the injured area. It will reduce the swelling, redness, and warmth. Applied soon after the injury, ice will prevent much of the inflammation from happening. Compression can help keep down swelling. Compression wraps, such as ace bandages, do not provide much support to prevent movement of the ankle, and you should not apply them tightly. Elevation (keeping the injured area up as high as possible) will help the body absorb fluid that has leaked into the tissue. Ideally, prop the ankle up so that it is above the level of your heart. You can do this in a reclining chair.
