Ankle sprain with swelling
I sprained my ankle today morning while playing. There is swelling over the outer side but I can walk and there is little pain. Do I need to get it checked? How do I treat it ?

First of all apply ice and tie a crepe bandage. It's good to get checked to rule out sprain or fracture
