P.R.I.C.E.: Protect, rest, ice, compression, elevation. If you follow this guideline that should be very beneficial. Physical therapy and strengthening of the ankle also helps in the recuperation. Most importantly prevent re-injury.

Many possibilities: R.I.C.E. Rest, ice, compression, elevation. Immobilization with a splint or brace may be of benefit in the initial phase of recovery. Oral anti-inflammatory medication may help with the pain and swelling. Once improved, mobilization and physical therapy can help restore strength and function. Healing times may vary.
