hi alexprabhu ,
Ankle sprain usually subsides with proper rest analgesics and brace support.
in your case i think you have fallen short of rest which you need to take it now put some nice anklet or brace take good anti inflammatory and do intermittent hot fomentation and and ankle exercises intermittently i think you should get reed of it in 2-3 weeks till then obviously stop playing
