What Is The Suggested Treatment For Swollen Ankle And Bruises On Knee After Falling Down?

Hi, So, I m in track. Earlier today I fell on a hurdle. I face planted onto the ground. I have a bruise on my knee with multiple purple dots. On my left leg my ankle is swollen almost double in size. Whenever I stand up my ankles feel like I just jumped of something tall. I m only 15. What should I do?
