I would : Wear an ankle brace. Therapy is not a bad idea but i'd see a doc first to assess for damage. Ligament sprain vs possible other pathology.

Ankle sprains: Can take longer to heal than bone and 4 weeks for a sprain is to soon to start running. Need examination to see if its healed and therapy would help if it is.
