Hi! I would see a podiatrist to find the cause of the swelling and possibly your primary doctor. Topical medications I usually recommend are Arnicare or Voltaren gel.

In some occasions, yes. You will have to be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
Sometimes, but it really depends on the pathology. There are many issues that will not respond to topical medications.
Most likely not. Depends on why you ankle is swollen in the first place. See your doctor.
Topical medications can help, depending on the cause of the swelling. I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle specialist (Podiatrist) for evaluation and treatment options.
