Post oh, ouch...
Please have it looked at carefully...

Sometimes people break off a small piece of bone when the ankle sprains(where the tendon attaches)...this leads to very poor healing and permanent damage over time if not caught very early and immobilized properly. (this is more common as we age).

So I hope you get it X-rayed.

ice and rest, and keep elevated, are the best treatments. Soaking in lukewarm epsom salts may help too.
