taping it tightly when playing will help prevent further injury while u are playing but it WILL make healing slower.
make sure u wrap it tightly with an ace bandage when u are not playing and have him rest it as much as possible.
elevate it when sitting down. u can also apply ice to help reduce swelling and ease pain. place ice in bag first to avoid direct contact with skin. apply for 10-15 mins at a time.
if not allergic. u can take ibuprofen for pain/swelling. take 200-400mg every 6 hours as needed but no more than 1200mg in 24 hours.
the best things for healing a sprain are rest and time. playing on it will make it harder for it to heal.
hope you feels better soon

wrap it in an ace bandage. put pillows underneath it to raise your ankle above your heart. put ice on it for 20-30 minutes. relax. one or two days to heal.
