Ankle injury: I would recommend an MRI to evaluate the overall integrity of the ankle and its ligaments. Continued activity may result in more damage. I would also see a orthopedic sports specialist.

Imobilize,rest: you need to get a lace up type ankle brace. Another two weeks of rest would be more helpful. Most ankle sprains will take 2 to 4 weeks to heal if it was truly sprained. You're a little young to use advil, but 200 mg three times a day might be helpful..
