My daughters foot is swollen, bruised and sore?!


Question: My daughters foot is swollen, bruised and sore!?
My daughter had a bit too much to drink last night!.
When I was taking her home, she miscalculated the kerb and fell!. she complained then about her foot, and had trouble walking on it!.
This morning she has phoned to say it's bruised and swollen!.
It's about half way down the outside of her foot!. she can walk if she doesn't put any weight on that side, so she says at the minute she's lifting that side of her foot up and putting weight on the inside, along the big toe!.
Should I take her to have it x-rayed!? She's 23 and embarrassed about it!. lolWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Probably not worth taking her to hospital at the moment as would be waiting for a long time and even if it was broken nothing they could do!. Best thing to do would be the rice method!.
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevate

If not feeling better soon then go to hospital!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
