Suggest Remedies For Bruised And Sprained Ankle

I sprained my ankle 4 days ago & have a 5 hour flight tomorrow...swelling had decreased but still badly bruised. I ve been doing RICE and plan to keep it wrapped. I ve been taking anti inflammatory meds and aspirin all along. I will try to elevate and walk around as much as possible on the flight. Any other advice?
