Ice for 15 minutes then 30 minutes off, repeat. Heat is for a torn muscle, not for injured ligaments or such inflammation. The important thing is to reduce inflammation.
Once the inflammation is down, heat can be used to encourage blood flow for healing. Healing such an injury take a couple of months so routine icing is good.
