Please consult a nearby good physiotherapist doctor who will guide you properly for swelling and graded exercises routine to strengthen the ankle Muscles. Usually ligament injury takes 3-6 months to heal with proper care and treatment.

Swelling is common upto 6 months, there won’t be any swelling in the morning. Swelling comes towards the end if the day. If there is no pain no need to worry. You can start physio now. Consult your doctor if any problem.
