How long does it take for the swelling to go down from a fractured ankle?

Swelling from a fractured ankle typically begins to decrease within a few days after the injury, but it can take several weeks to fully subside. Factors such as the severity of the fracture, individual healing rates, and adherence to treatment can all influence the duration of swelling. Elevation, ice, and compression can help manage swelling during the healing process. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized recovery advice.
