Hello you had ankle sprain, ligament injury. Depending on severity of the injury it can be of three degrees of ligament injury.* Basically Rest to the ankle is required and try to place it above the level of heart as you lie down...to Chat Doctor. *Ice packs can help to decrease swelling...daily thrice for about 20 min will help.but make sure you don't freeze your leg.*Ibuprofen 200\u00a0mg thrice a day can help to decrease pain.*Elastic bandage covering the ankle but not too tight.* Mild exercises after a few days of pain alleviation.  If stiffness or pain increases severely then it's time to visit your doctor.
