Ankle sprain: Consider med eval. RICE. REST- 24 to 48hrs. Avoid activities requiring use of ankle. ICE- for first 2 days after injury, apply ice for 15 to 20 mins every few hours. A bag of frozen peas is good. COMPRESSION- Wrap foot, ankle & lower leg w ace wrap. Make sure it is not so tight that it decreases your circulation. ELEVATE- elevate ankle above your heart. Can prop on a pillow.

I agree with Dr Fowler. I would add to seek a physical therapist to help you strength the ankle to prevent reoccurrence
