Swelling near the fingers might need a x ray evaluation of ankle and foot
Limb elevation and ice packs for now

Protect your ankle using a crepe bandage or ankle brace.
Avoid walking if it's too painful.
In bed, raise leg using 2 pillows this will reduce the swelling
Take dolo 650 twice a day after food for 3 days.
If it doesn't get better get xray done and consult any ortho.
Also take vitamin d injection to get quick and better healing
Next Steps
consult if needed
