Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Tenderness In Ankle

I got hit In the inner ankle a couple hours a go by a softball. My sister was pitching and I was catching. My ankle swelled up immediately and had a huge red spot. Now I can walk without much pain, but if I stand on it and put a lot of pressure on it then it hurts. My ankle is also very sensitive to the touch and is still swollen and bruised/super red. What could be wrong? Should I see a doctor?
