Ankle Sprain or fracture.? If you can't put your weight on it....X-RAY. If swelling more than 3 days....X-Ray. Most likely it is a fracture. Call your orthopedic doc. Sprains are best treated with acupuncture and RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation). Sounds so ASIAN.

Cold pack or Heat pack....that is the question??? In my experience, when in doubt...use cold. We all know that for acute injury/ pain use cold for 48hrs. I have noticed that cold is best even up to 2 weeks. If you really want to use heat pack...use it after a week and use warm instead of HOT. What is HOT? What is WARM? Simple...if you can put it on a 5 year old kid...it is WARM.

Today's quarantine tea is GINGER. Ginger in traditional medicine has numerous health benefits. First, the tea has hot properties so people who are hot all the time is not the best tea to drink everyday. This tea is best for people who are cold, terrible digestion, and has nausea,. If you can't make fresh ginger tea, go to Trader Joe's and try Yogi brand....very nice. Be safe. Health is wealth!
