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.

It depends. If you take care of it properly and minimize use of it, it can heal fairly quickly. If you don't, they may never go away

Should they give me a brace if i sprained my ankle?

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!

In Sport what exactly is a high ankle sprain?

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.

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.
