    elevate your foot when you sleep. And ice it a few times a day. Ive sprained both my ankles lol. and it doesnt help being on your feet for long periods of time. And you should wrap it. The pressure from the wrap will remove the swelling. You can also do some ankle strengthening exercises by elevating your foot and writing out the alphabet with your foot extended out and using your big toe. Do that atleast 5 times a day when you can.

    Source(s): sprained both ankles. Twice. Ugh.
