Need to Rest it, Ice: Elevate it and apply a compression bandage, like a crepe bandage on it. Take some pain meds like the bruffen to decrease the swelling ; control pain. Use crutches and try not to walk on it with the whole weight on it. See a gp or be seen in a/e to get an xray to make sure no fractures are present. Good luck.

Ankle: See your podiatrist for an evaluation and x rays to rule out possibility of fracture as well treatment. In the meantime ice and elevation and nsaids , if you can take them , are advisable.
