Multi ligament injury was there. Start with physiotherapy. Avoid sternuous activities. Tab tendocare forte three times a day for 15 days might help

There was partial tear and sprain of multiple ligaments around ankle..
It usually take around 6 to 8 weeks for ligament sprains to heal.. It may take some more time depending on the nature of injury..
Next Steps
I will suggest you to start with physiotherapy and strengthening exercises of ankle joint.. You can take analgesic, calcium, vit d supplement, multivitamins which will help in better healing of the soft tissue. You may apply crepe bandage for support..
Health Tips
Avoid weight bearing over ankle joint, avoid standing and walking for long time, avoid running exercises...
