Do you have complete range of motion at the ankle joint?
Apply ice for 10-12 min and repeat it 5-6times a day.
Research shows that an ankle sprain needs to be rehabilitated for 6-8 months in order to avoid repetitive injury. Rehabilitation must include- soft tissue release, stretching, strengthening exercises, proprioceptive training and concluded with plyometric and agility drills. If you do not complete this 6-8 months of rehab, you will sprain the ankle again.
So don't ignore the problem and see a physiotherapist for rehabilitation. Also, continue icing.
