rest, ice, gentle stretching and rehab exercises. accupuncture can help
but most important is visit a good physiotherapist or osteopath to oversee your treatment and recovery.
tendonitis can linger and become chronic, causing further damage, so make sure you're working with a good professional.
If your therapist doesn't make a difference within 4 visits, then probably time to change and try with someone else.
good luck.

Traditional achilles tendinitis treatment (ie, rest, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, orthotics, cortisone injections, icing, ultrasound, and conventional physical therapy) are not very successful, and about 25 per cent of athletes who suffer from chronic achilles-tendinitis problems end up undergoing surgery.
I copied this excerpt from Sports Injury Bulletin, which I've enclosed a link for so you can find out some keys to preventing this problem.

Anything with 'itis' on the end means inflammation. So as with any inflammation it needs rest, anti-inflammatories and some hot/cold compresses alternated when possible. Be patient, do too much too soon and you will be back to square one.
