See your doctor: If the pain woke you up at night you should see your doctor. Until your appointment ice elevate and rest the ankle.You can try Ibuprofen or alieve if there as long as there are no contraindications to you taking these meds or there are no drug interactions with any meds you are on.

Rest, ice: Compression and elevation. An ankle brace is a good idea as well as is an antiinflammatory. If pain persists see a foot and ankle doc.
