Dear Lybrateuser, - Give rest to the limb, avoid pressure on it while walking if you have to, use a crutch or walker - apply ice pack for 10-15 min 3-4 times a day on affected part - apply crepe bandage or ankle support cap - keep affected limb elevated when sitting or on a pillow while sleeping - take a pain relief tablet like Brufen, 400 mg, 1 tab three times a day after meals - get an x- ray done if not much improvement to rule out any bony injury.
