You need to ice it 20 minutes at a time for 2-3 hours. Keep it elevated and wrap it with an ace bandage.
This will help with the swelling, and help with the pain along with the advil.
Sleeping is always a problem with a sprain, because of the pain. Just try to keep it elevated and wrapped when you sleep. I prefer an ankle brace and I love an air cast.
If you still have problems in a few days go to the doctor.
Good luck and if you have question please email through y/a
Fill a bucket with the hottest water you can stand and add 1 cup of epsom salt, you can also do this in the bathtub. Soak your ankle for 30 minutes and try to massage it afterwards with baby oil. This should ease some of the pain. This is what I did when I used to get Shin Splints when I played soccer.
whatever you do do not add heat like the first person said. that is the worst thingyou can do. All you can do is ice,elevate it and rest it. it should feel better each day and be fine in a week or so.
Other than fixing the problem real fast, no.
