Hi,

You may have ankle sprain. May have happened due to minor twisting of ankle which may be missed. Treatment is Rest ice compression elevation of ankle on two pillows. Tab chymoral forte twice a day helps for reducing swelling. If pain is not bearable tab diclofenac sodiumtwice a day can be taken for pain relief. Visit to orthopedic surgeon for detailed clinical Examination will be more helpful in diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
