DS rolled his ankle of something

He was walking and must have rolled it funny or something and now he is walking very slowly and carefully and needing to hold onto things in between. He is still walking on it and I moved it all around so I am thinking its not broken, but he still seems uncomfortable. I gave him some tylenol for the pain but I don't know what else to do other than try to keep him off of it....at 16 months...yeah good luck. Suggestions?

    This happened to my DD around 16 mos as well.  She rolled her ankle and then couldn't really walk on it.  But it didn't hurt her when I touched it or moved it or put pressure on it.  And it wasn't bruised or swollen.  I was torn on whether or not to take her in, and I ended up not.  I tried to keep her off of it for a couple hours, then slowly let her take a few steps.  She kept being able to walk further and further on it before she would fall down and cry.  A few hours later she was totally fine.  We think she must have just "tweaked" it or something.  I'd keep an eye on it and if it doesn't get better throughout the day take him to the doctor.
