Hello,
To differentiate if the ankle is sprained or fractured you should do an X-ray of the ankle. Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application to relieve the inflammation.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
