How Can Pain In The Ankle Be Treated?

my friend hurt her ankle at volleyball. She jumped and upon landing she had landed on her ankle. She proceeded to scream. She then her ankle had swelled but she is still able to move it after 4 days of rest and ice along with elevation. but is still not able to walk on it but after these 4 days swelling has gone down tremendously.
