Hi there There are grades of ankle sprains Need to establish what grade ankle sprain you suffered so as to have proper treatment....also the nature of fall plays a role in successful outcome of treatment.
Next Steps
just apply ice on the surface and dont apply any heat or balm. apply a crepe bandage over the area and avoid putting weight on it. do upload a photo of your foot/ankle and explain the symptoms in detail so that i can understand the case specific problem and would advice you the cure for it.
