Ice, Advil, and elevate.
after 72 hours you can use heating pad and soak your foot.
trace the alphabet on the floor with you toes to help with stiffening. Try to stay off of it as much as possible. It should be better in 2-4 weeks maybe a bit longer. Oh Ace wrape it all the time for support so you don't hurt it worse.
I fell on the outer top of mine going down the steps on Feb 10th. It's bruised now and I still have a swollen goose lump on it where I fell on it and it hurt insanely. I can hardly walk yet or stand much. But on the up side most of the swelling went down and in about a week I should be all better.
Well Jesse you definitely bruised it and it sounds like you
could have broken some of those fine bones that make up
your ankle. No one can be sure unless someone takes you
to the hospital for a foot xray. You also probably need some
crutches to walk with. Meanwhile use ice in a towel around the
ankle to help the swelling go down. The more you can get the
swelling down the less it will throb. Even a good sprain may
take weeks to heal. Some sprains have been known to be
worse than a complete break.
I think it could be a bone bruise or a minor sprain. Your parents should take you to the doctor's. But if they don't, try not to use it a lot and put lots of ice on it. Hope it gets better!
