Put ice on the ankle as soon as possible after the injury. Leave it on no longer than 20 minutes. Any longer than that will do more damage than good. Put ice on your ankle two or three times a day to keep the swelling down.It is best to keep your ankle elevated, for example laying on the couch or in bed. Put a pillow or two under your ankle for more comfort. Situate yourself in a place where you can watch television, so you do not become too bored sitting still. If you can't always keep your ankle elevated, wrap it in an ace bandage when you have to move around.You do not want to use heat on a sprained ankle. But to help prevent one in the future, use some heat before doing any exercising.

If your injury is more severe than a simple sprain, or it does not improve in a few days, a trip to the doctor is warranted. Your doctor can take x-rays to make sure there is nothing more serious happening in the injured area, and provide you with further medical advice for promoting healing of the ankle.

My son of age 5 's urine is always surrounded by ants. Is he diabetic? Bcoz my father and grandparents are diabetic. I'm not. Please help me.

If your son is otherwise fine, Urine surrounded by ants is no indication that someone is diabetic , this is quite a common feature, but because diabetes runs in families so whenever you visit your paediatrician next do discuss your family history with him so that he/she can keep a watch.

Greetings Doctor,

Trust this finds u in best of health.

I am a mother of 2 kids. daughter age 6 and son 22 months. my concern is my son. its been a couple of months now, he blabbers alot. there are a few words i can understand but most of the time he blabbers or talks baby talk to himself or to us. he can say mamma, dadda, come, more (if he wants more to eat) numnum for food, the word no, his sister's name very recently. he loves to sing rhymes. but he cant prenounce the words perfectly but say he is 4 out of 10. the melody is perfect. it was all very adorable but sometimes its very worrying to hear him blabber. i wonder if it is normal. i am quite anxious to know cause i did not experience this with my daughter. infact she started talking really well by this time. please advise. Thanks for reading.

Best regards

Hi Natalia,

No 2 kids are same so u cannot compare him with your daughter, From what you have written, doesn’t looks like there is a problem, some kids start speaking late, so if his understanding of things and hearing is all right,don’t worry, just continue talking to him, reading to him and otherwise stimulating him and just relax and enjoy your babies!
