When you're not on your feet, try elevating your foot and keep some ice on it throughout the day. It is normal to have swelling for several months after this type of injury.

soac it and the water

Give it some more time. The swelling will gradually disappear as the injury heals. If you want to keep the swelling to a minimum, it might help to wear a support stocking.

Elevate.....Keep that foot and ankle up. Ice Pack...
