How do I cure a sprained ankle?!


Question: You need to use the RICE method... R= rest I= ice C= compression and E= elevation. To compress it you can use an ace wrap or something. Also you should rest and stay off of it as much as possible. If you are in any sports then you should take a break for a while to let it heal. Pain killers like Ibuprofen and Tylenol help to ease the pain. If it is really bad then you should go to the doctors or the ER to get x-rays. Also you could call your local pharmacy to rent crutches for a week to stay off it. I hope you feel better and I hope this helps.
