Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to blunt trauma.
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.
For further assessment you may require X Ray or MRI of affected ankle.
Use ankle cap.
Use support while walking.
You may require surgical intervention in case of fracture.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
