I Fell On The Side Of My Ankle And It Is Still Hurting

I fell on the side of my ankle and I heard snaps. I walked on it just fine on the stairs, regular ground, and I was able to rotate it just fine. After a while it hurt more. I can walk on it, but it hurts. I m at my school and I have to get back home so is there anything I can do about it immediately other than ice?
