Hi... I suggest you to kindly get a x-ray done..to rule out any hairline fracture in the ankle joint... Keep icing it frequently... Keep it compressed with compression bandage... Keep it elevated... Don't walk too much... Kindly revert back with X-ray report to me so that I will be in a better position to guide you
