How Is Heat Treatment Done For Hairline Fracture On Ankle?

Hi.. I have been diagnosed with a hairline fracture on my ankle about 4 days ago. I have been advised to rest and do the ice and heat treatment once a day. How do I do the heat treatment? Put my ankle in warm water or some other way? And also should I wear a crepe bandage on my foot all day? Does that help?
