1. At this time, the patient should first find a safe place to sit down and rest as soon as possible, and then take off his shoes and socks.

2. Take cold compresses as soon as possible, for example, patients can ask others to buy some ice cubes or ice cream nearby, and then wrap them in a cloth and place them on the affected area for cold compresses, of course, they can also be continuously rinsed under the tap or soaked in cold water.

3. After the cold compress is over, it is necessary to continue to rest in bed, and some Chinese patent medicines with the effect of blood circulation and blood stasis should be used externally in the affected area.

Post-foot swelling reduction measures can be based on ice. The ankle sprain is medically called ankle sprain, and the patient should stop moving immediately after the sprain, and do not massage the injured part at will, so as not to aggravate the condition. Warm compresses can increase local exudation, worsen swelling, and should not be used.

Ice** is effective in relieving pain and reducing swelling. Cold compresses** should be applied immediately after injury and should be insisted on as long as swelling is present. For the first 48 hours, ice should be applied repeatedly 20 minutes apart for 20 minutes.

An ankle sprain is subacute if it lasts for 6 weeks. Chronic edema can prolong healing and affect the long-term outcome of recovery. After the initial remission of the condition, the patient usually needs several weeks to recover, at this time compression** is an effective measure, compression can reduce edema, help blood return, and at the same time can reduce pain, reduce excessive swelling pressure on nerve endings.

Compression** can be applied with elastic bandages, zinc oxide plaster casts, compression stockings, or braces to reduce swelling. In addition, proper ankle exercise can also help venous blood return and reduce swelling. Bed rest is an important measure to reduce swelling.
