Avoid ankle movements and you can go through price.
Protection, rest, ice, compression, elevation is required.
Compression can be done by crepe bandage.
Consult a Physiotherapist and take ultrasound treatment, drainage tapping, etc..
Next Steps
Better to consult a orthopaedic doctor and take x-ray as soon as possible to confirm if it because of ligament tear.

firstly, avoid putting iodex or any other pain relaxants immediately after a injury and preferably upto a week. they tend to make the problem worse.
keep ice packs 2 times a day.
i would suggest you get an x-ray done to rule out ant other factors.
if the x-ray is normal, then put an ankle binder continously for a week and apply ice packs.
Next Steps
after a week put the ankle binder for 6hrs a day and start doing exercises like ankle toe movements 4 times a day.
