Hello,
As there is no fracture this us a ligament sprain. I will advise you to use the ankle brace or crepe bandage so the swelling comes down and also it will provide stability to the joint while walking. Please allow 3 weeks of time and you should have no symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
