First: after the ankle sprain, we should first distinguish the severity of the injury. If the ankle sprain can stand heavily and walk reluctantly, it means that the sprain is mild and can be handled by ourselves; if the ankle sprain has severe pain during ankle movement, we can't stand or move, and press the pain on the bone and gradually swell up, which means that the bone may be sprained, we should go to the hospital immediately for diagnosis and treatment.

Second: the correct use of cold compress and hot compress. In the early stage of sprain, the ruptured small blood vessels are bleeding. At this time, cold compress can be used to make the blood vessels contract and coagulate, so as to control the development of the injury. Ice compress: you can pack some ice in plastic bags, and then apply some water to the injured area. After every 15 minutes, rest for five minutes. This action can be repeated for about one or two hours (about three days). Hot compress: after 24 hours, the bleeding of the ruptured blood vessel stops. At this time, hot compress can be used to promote the congestion around the sprain to dissipate. There are many ways of hot compress. Cover the wound with a hot towel and replace it with a hot towel when it is cold. Or with hot water bag, hot treasure, etc.
