How can i help heal my rotator cuff sprain as soon as possible? it's been a month since i saw the doctor about it and it's not getting better.

Physical therapy: Rotator cuff injuries (as long as they are not complete tears) usually respond well to physical therapy. If it is completely torn (full thickness) the ends will pull apart and arthroscopic surgery is usually required. Don't hesitate to be seen.
