How To Treat Ankle Sprain Causing Pain And Swelling?

I fell about 2 weeks ago twisting my ankle Inversion.The bone on the outside is still pretty swollen and it hurts to walk on it. I iced it the first few days and wrapped it with an Ace bandage. I have been walking on it with an ace and surgical shoe from a previous.After seeing the pictures I see it may be a tear. Do I need to see a podiatrist or keep it wrapped & be more patient with the healing?
