What is the best teatment for a high ankle sprain ?!
Question: My son injured himself last night at a track meet. The trainer said it was a high ankle sprain. We have been icing and elevating his ankle. Also he is using crutches. Today he has an air cast on. I have been giving him IB Profen, is their anything else that needs to be done ?

You're pretty much doing everything I would have suggested. I'm assuming it's a stable sprain if it's been been put in a cast. Plenty of rest, keep it elevated, compression and ice wraps.
Hope it gets better soon!!!
As long as he stays off of that ankle until it's ready to carry weight again, what you're doing will be enough.
Good luck!
ice ice baby.
ice pack
go to the doc if it is not good in a week or so if he snaped his ligaments he may need surgery
