Please and please, massage the leg and apply hot water compress...
Their advice not to apply pressure or heat is in line with modern day medical practices which I do not comply with. The old way worked back then and it still works now - So, do it!!!

Your daughter has an ankle sprain that will heal automatically because she's still a kid. Lift the leg up and apply ice. The Doctor is right and stop listening to resident doctors on Nairaland.

I'm nursing the same injury
