Hello well first thing in since it is  a sprain Ibuprofen will not help it much..I would suggest you to take any muscle relaxant... Secondly try using diclofenac spray..Thirdly you can go for physiotherapy as it will definitely help.. If symptoms don't subside then meet an orthopaedician and get evaluated
