I think the best thing you can do is make sure thats all it is. she may need xrays just to be sure there isnt anything broken. also she could have ligament or tendon damage. i think she should see a doctor just to be sure

Are you sure it's just sprained and not actually fractured?? If you have not taken her to have it examined by a doc and x-rayed, you need to do that. If you don't have health insurance, the hospital will treat her anyway and work out a payment plan. Do not massage it, that would feel terrible to a sprain and worse if, by chance, it's actually broken.

She may have broken a bone. You may want to go to an emergency room or urgent care clinic to be evaluated. In the meantime, elevate her foot and wrap a cold pack around her foot with a bandage. Do not use heat.

she may have fractured it. you need to take her to the dr. immediately. a fracture is a like a tiny crack.
