Physical therapy: As a start. Bracing can help but ultimately if there are torn ligaments and instability surgery is a viable option.

OTC Ankle brace: You're better off using an otc brace or splint that trying to tape yourself up at home. It's not as easy as the professional trainers make it look. You could also just see a podiatrist - many of us stock simple braces for simple sprains.
