My dad is a doctor and he always told me:
R.I.C.E

Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation

This is for all kinds of sprains, twists, or pains in your joints.

The compression isn't really as important. Basically put an ice pack on it and put some pillows below your foot, both of these will decrease blood flow and swelling of the area.
