There are several reasons for ankle pain following a marathon run. But most of them occur immediately following the run.
To have pain after a month is unusual, especially when accompanied by swelling.
A clinical examination of the ankle joint and supplementary xrays or MRI scans should help arrive at the cause of this problem.
Next Steps
I suggest that you rest your ankle, which means decrease waking and standing on it. Ice the ankle of is warm to feel. Apply a crepe bandage if you have one at home. Visit the nearest ortho surgeon who can offer an opinion on your condition.
Health Tips
To prevent repeat injuries of this nature always train for at least 3 months before you attempt a long distance run. Join one of the several running groups in your city. Often a trainer is available to guide you. Do sufficient stretches pre and post run. Take a break from running until you are completely healed.
Good luck!
