What if I sprain my foot when I play ball?

The patient sprained his foot while playing ball. He needed to brake immediately and go to the hospital for X-ray examination as soon as possible to rule out the possibility of fracture. If it was only soft tissue sprain, the patient could apply cold compress in the early stage of sprain to reduce swelling and pain. After 48 hours of injury, hot compress could be applied to promote the dissipation of inflammation and facilitate recovery.
