Patient's question:
My foot was twisted last night when I came home, and I soaked it in hot water for a few minutes. This morning, it still hurts, but there's no bruising or swelling, just pain. Hello, what should I do for care?Doctor's answer:
If your situation involves an ankle sprain, it is recommended to go to the hospital for an X-ray to conduct a thorough examination to check if there are any bone-related issues. If it is only a ligament or muscle strain, no special treatment is needed. You should pay close attention to rest and avoid excessive weight-bearing on the foot. You can apply ice to the injured area within 24 hours after the strain.The above advice is for the question, "My foot was twisted last night when I came home. I used hot water..." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
