Getting Ankle Sprain Treated in Colakli
The doctor asks how the injury happened, judges whether a fracture is likely, advises on painkillers and care and arranges an X-ray or orthopaedic review when needed. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest painkillers, a supportive bandage or brace and, if a fracture is suspected, an X-ray.
