It depends on how bad the sprain is but generally stay off it for a few days. If it hurts to walk on it's still healing so don't walk on it too much. Only run after it is not painful to jump or walk on.

An ankle sprain
In my opinion, you should go with a brace if your sprain is minor. However, if you or your doctor feels it is a bad sprain, I suggest crutches for 2-5 days. After that, if it still doesn't feel better, you might have a worse condition, and should then go to the doctor immediately. Hope this helps!
The most common type is the inversion ankle sprain, in which the ankle rolls over on the outside.
It is generally easier to sprain your ankle than to break it. A sprain is a stretching or tearing of the ligaments, while a break is a fracture in the bone. The recovery time and treatment for a sprain are typically less extensive than for a break.

It's a sprain in the upper ligament of your ankle. These are usually much more painful and take longer to heal. (I had one about 2 months ago and they suck). The only good part is that with a high ankle sprain there is less of a chance of recurring problems as compared to a low ankle sprain aka. regular sprain.
Yes. The amount of swelling depends on several things, such as how bad the sprain is, how strong your ankle is, whether this is your first sprain, and how fast you get ice and compression on it.

I would most likely go to a doctor and have it checked, you should probably stay home for two or three days to recover. Depending on how bad it is. Good Luck!
Treatment for an ankle injury will depend on what the injury is and how severe it is. If it is a simple sprain, ice on the swelling can cause some relief. You can also take some anti-inflammatories for the pain and swelling. If it persists you should see your doctor.
If you run on uneven terrain, you might sprain your ankle.
