hi and welcome
its been 4 weeks since your injury.
first and foremost you should get an xray done of your injured ankle and see your orthopaedic surgeon
you might have sustained a fracture
meanwhile apply ice packs4-5 times a day
take antiinflammatory like ibuprofen
keep your leg elevated
thanks
warm regards
