Hi, you might have sprained your ankle, to be on a safer side take a xray to see any hairline fracture, or consider a mri to detect soft tissue injury. For the time being, apply cold pack, every 4-5 hours for 15-20 min, observe if it reduces pain or swelling. Applying compression bandage and ankle support can help. Keep the leg elevated by 2-3 pillow. I would suggest that you should see the doctor personally as soon as possible, don't try to self medicate or ignore the injury. Please get back to me, if you need any further assistance.
