Yeah, it's more than likely a sprain. Keep his ankle elevated with ice on it and then see how well he does in the morning. He could take an anti inflammatory like Advil or Motrin for pain. I would call the doctor in the morning just to let them know. They will more than likely have more suggestions for you. Now, if you notice tonight that his toes are discolored or that the swelling has increased or he is in an extreme amount of pain then I would call the doctor asap. The good thing about kids and sprains is that they heal ALOT faster than adults. Hopefully, he will be out again by the weekend.
