Time: It can take up to 2-3 weeks for the swelling and discoloration to resolve. This is nothing abnormal. Try heat to help the body clear the selling and bruising.

Ankle Sprain: Have you seen anyone to have it checked. Need at least an x-ray to make sure there is no fracture. Use rice rest ice compression and elevation and get checked.
