If no break, elevate it, put ice on (10-15 minutes on, then off), keep it elevated, try to avoid weight-bearing, and if the dr agrees, you could wrap it with an Ace bandage. Make sure the Ace is not too tight. Wrap from toes UP around the ankle. Never wrap from ankle to toes, or your toes will swell. Ace works by helping fluid (in swelling) go upward to the heart.
