RICE is the abbreviation for rest, ice compression and elevation, which is the best treatment for an ankle sprain or ankle pain
Yes, but for only 1 to 3 days after the injury. After 3 days use of ice slows the healing process.
Ice can help reduce swelling. It depends on the extent of the injury. I would suggest that you get it evaluated to make sure that there is no ligament or bone injury. Jonathan M. Kletz, DPM Texas Foot WorksDallas, Athens and Gun Barrel City Texas214-340-8885

Usually helps
Ice should help in the initial injury phase. I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for diagnosis and treatment options.
The answer is it depends, it depends on how many days is the injury, what the injury was, how has it treated, what are your symptoms currently, etc... I recommend that you see a doctor to address your concerns.
