Ankle joint effusion: You would want to be evaluated by a physician. In the meantime, rest it, ice it, compression with an Ace wrap, and elevation above the level of your heart.

Effusion: You need to address what is causing the joint effusion first. Rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medication can help. See your local doctor if it is not calming down.
