I have a swollen ankle. What is it and how can I treat it?

You have a sprained ankle, which is caused by overstretching the ligaments in your ankle. The best way to treat it is to rest the injured area, apply ice or an ice pack to reduce swelling, and use compression bandages or wraps to support the joint and keep it stable. Additionally, you may need to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
