Family practice : If no fracture , ambulation is encouraged. It helps to strengthen it as it heals.

Sprained ankle: Are you sure it was sprained? If no pain or swelling you can walk on it but if it starts to hurt then get it looked at.

Sprained ankle: Minor sprains should be fine to walk on it, especially if there is no pain, swelling or instability. Due to your age, it'll be fine.
