Badly sprained right ankle; help?

R.I.C.E.: Rest, ice, compression, and elevation for one week. Also if you have no contraindications, advil (ibuprofen) is good too. If you still hurt after one week, or can't walk, go see. Dr for x-rays.

RICE: Rest, ice, compression, elevation. I would probably see a doctor to make sure there is no fracture.
