Answer 1

For starters, the player is supposed to ice the foot. Apply a towel full of ice or an ice pack to the ankle and rest. This shouldn't be done for more than half an hour per icing treatment because it can cause cold injuries. The player also needs to be stationary and to rest, usually elevating the ankle in the air. It is wise to keep the ankle immobilized.
