<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Firstly my ankle just hurt, a couple of days later it started bruising, and now 5 days later it is swollen but a little above the bruising. The pain is over my whole ankle and specifically where the bruisingswelling is, it is a dull pain that is greater when I am walking and occasionally shoots up to my knee or hip. I may have sprained my ankle or it may be poison from a blister I had, any idea which?  <response>: Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. The symptoms seem to be related to a sprained ankle. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application. I recommend maintaining a splint to avoid moving the ankle. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards! Chat Doctor.
