What Causes Swelling And Persistent Pain In Ankle After A Injury?

I am an 18 year old female with a possible ankle injury. I went to the Mall of America on Sunday March 13 from 11am to 4pm. I have had a previous injury to the same ankle approximately 4 years ago which occured in my dance class. When I was headed back home I felt severe pain and when my mom and myself looked at it it was swelling. There is still swelling and pain which i am rating a 5 on the ten point pain scale as of now.
