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!

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).
