Soak your foot in an epsom salt bath,stay off it and get an ankle brace.No lie my husband broke his ankle like three times and I cant even tell you how many times he sprained it. This always works..Except the breaks they required a cast
Ice for no longer than 15 minutes at a time, you need to get the elasticity back, do this today, tomorrow if it feels the same keep up with the ice, it's still swollen, if it's better, heat, same way 15 minutes at a time let it cool, another 15. This will relax the muscles and tendons. Keep off it until you can limp without your foot going sideways. Once you can do that walk on it as much as possible, push through the pain, try not to limp. This will speed up the healing.
