Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to the injury.
I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.
I also suggest doing an x-ray of the ankle to check for fractures and consult an orthopedist for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
