RICE: Ice, elevate and rest. Cavemen didn't have antiinflammatories either and this is the tried and true remedy for most soft tissue ailments.

Talk to your doctor: You need to speak to your doctor and see how he wants to help medicate you if at all. Physical therapy may be better.

Time to Rest.: Severely sprained ankle can vary in treatment modes, depending on the severity. Having said that, The immediate treatment is rest, ice, compression and elevation. If a need to control the pain arises, then maybe the injury is more severe than thought. You can always call your local physician for a prescription.
