Ice the ankle several times a day and wrap it with an ace bandage (or using an ankle brace if available) then you can take ibuprofen 200 mg x 3 tablets with foods every 6 hours as needed for a couple days. Keep that ankle up at rest to alleviate the swelling. If you can't put weight on that ankle after these measures, you should use a cane or crutch. With severe sprain you may need a walking boot.
