What Medication Is Suggested For Swelling And Pain Inside The Right Ankle?

I was hit on the inside of my right ankle with a hockey puck last night. I sat for about two minutes, then played another hour. When I took my skate off, my ankle felt tight and there was swelling across the top of my ankle connecting the inside ankle bone to the outside ankle bone. The majority of my swelling is just under the outside ankle bone. I iced last night and no bruising has developed. It is still swollen this morning and I m limping now. I was hit right on the bone and I don t think anything is broken (no swelling on the impact spot). Just wondering why the other side of my ankle would swell.
