Yes you should, potentially there is a broken bone in the ankle but most important to know is those ligaments holding the ankle together are now torn and you should get proper treatment for this to avoid bad arthritis in the future.

Yes, you should go to the doctor for a dislocated ankle.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TO A PODIATRIST!!!!!
Yes, often time these injuries are accompanied with soft tissue/vascular injury as well. I would see a Podiatric surgeon for examination and evaluation.
Yes, to avoid prolong protracted and other medical conditions secondary to the dislocation. Knee pain, leg and hip conditions may develop because of untreated ankle problems.
Yes, you need X-rays and long-term treatment. If you do not see a specialist, then you will have long-term arthritis.
Absolutely yes, I would recommend not putting any weight on the ankle until it is examined by a podiatrist. Until then you can use ice 20 minutes out of every hour, elevation, and an Ace wrap. I wish you all the best.
Go to the ER. A dislocated ankle is very serious.
Yes. Absolutely. You need medical attention.
Yes, asap.
Yes, the ankle may need to be reset. A doctor needs to rule out broken bones, and evaluate the extremity to make sure the ligaments that attach the bones are intact as well.
If you actually dislocated her ankle or if it is bad enough that there is an irritation, definitely need to go to either in urgent care or a physician. This depends on how uncomfortable orders, but you want to be sure that you do not have permanent damage.
YES, seek medical attention!!!!!
Yes. You should go immediately to ensure there is no nerve or vascular damage and to appropriately immobilize and allow optimal healing
Yes, you should go to a foot and ankle specialist.
A dislocated ankle needs to be addressed emergently. You are young and have many steps left, please get the ankle evaluated as soon as possible!

Yes.
Yes
I recommend you get evaluated as soon as possible if you did dislocate the ankle. Dislocations are usually very painful and need immediate attention
If your ankle was truly dislocated, you would not be able to ambulate. So most certainly, you should.
Yes, neglected joint dislocations can results in severe long term complications. Go see your doctor now
