My daughter has a severely sprained right ankle.  She sprained it on Sunday, went to the hospital emergency room, had an x-ray indicating NO broken bones.  However, after R.I.C.E. Since Sunday, her ankle is still swollen, bruised on both sides of the ankle and she cannot put weight on it.  Should she see a physician and see if she can get an ankle boot to help avoid more injury?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. After going through your query I think your daughter is suffering from soft tissue injury and ligament pain. Treatment of it is rest and analgesics (diclofenac three times a day after meals). It may take two to three weeks time to relief. Vitamin B-complex and vitamin C will help promote healing. However, she can get x-ray done to exclude fracture. She can see an orthopedic. Ankle boot will be helpful to avoid more injury. I think your query answered. Welcome to any follow-up query.
