For additional relief, you can try over-the-counter oral pain relievers like ibuprofen, which helps reduce both pain and inflammation, or paracetamol for pain control, provided you have no contraindications. Along with this, continue the 'RICE' protocol: rest your ankle, apply ice packs for 15 minutes at a time, keep it compressed, and elevate it above heart level. If you find you cannot bear weight or the pain worsens, please see a healthcare professional for an evaluation to ensure there is no fracture.
