• Stretch Calves • Get a custom made insole. • Hams Stretching. • Sports Taping. • Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment ankle is applied warm water followed by the immediate application of the ankle with ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.

Get x-rays done. To rule out fracture. Ankle sprain needs immobilisation for 4 week with a slab or cast . Medications like Enzomac and Tendocare will help. Apply ice packs locally. Keep affected limb elevated. Do not bear weight over affected limb.
Next Steps
Share x-rays.

It is mostly likely ligament injury. Consult ortho doctor. Crepe bandage, ice pain killers will help. Elevation. If pain not settling walker boot helps. It takes total of six weeks to heal depends upon your grade of injury
