What is the fastest way to reduce the swelling caused by a bad ankle sprain?

Answer:
Ice pack on 20 minutes and off 20 minutes for at least 2 hours. Also take an anti inflamatory like aleve or Ibuprofen. Make sure to stay off of it as much as possible and keep your foot proped up about the height of your heart or higher. If you do need to walk on it remember toe touch weight bering or the swelling will go right back up and possibly be worse.

Ice, seperating the ice fromt he skin with a damp towel- 10 minutes on then 10 minutes offtake some anti-inflammatories after eating (i-bprofen or aspirin)Then elevate it, above your heart to reduce blood flow to the area.

Keep your foot elevated and keep putting ice on it and this may sound crazy but take either Pamprin or Midol for the pain and swelling. It's a pain reliever, muscle relaxer, and it reduces swelling.

You should compress the site by ice bag.
