Rest/ice/compress/PT: Initial rest in a relaxed position to rpevent further injury along with ice and compression (ace wrap) will hel control pain and swelling and allow for early healing. Once the acute pain is tolerable, gentle physical therapy is usually indicated to maximize your return of motion and strength.
