A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's impossible: To give you a diagnosis over the internet. There is an impressive list of things that can cause ankle swelling from fluid retention to a joint inflammation to a blood clot. Some are serious, some are just annoying, some are in-between serious and annoying. Go see your doctor and find out!
