The acronym HCP's use for first aid treatment of this type of injury is RICE - Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. NSAID's like ibuprofen will help with pain and reducing any swelling.
You probably should get it looked at before you run on it again just in case, especially if there's any swelling or residual pain, just to make sure there's no significant damage.
In any event, for the next few games you might want to think about either taping the ankle or wearing some type of brace for support. There are several that will will limit lateral rolling of the joint while still allowing normal flexion/extension.
