Can I use ice on my cast?

I sprained my ankle and now have a hard cast on it. The swelling is pushing my ankle bone against the hard side of the cast and turning my toes purple as soon as I stop elevation. I'm also taking Advil but this swelling SUCKS!!!

I sprained it on Sunday and have not put any weight on it since Monday.

I'm hoping that the ice will help the swelling go down quicker, but is it even worth it? Will the cold get through the cast?
