Please take your son to see his pediatrician right away. At 3, he is not old enough to be able to be precise about his pain or his symptoms, and you want to be sure that there's nothing more than a sprain going on.
Also, your pediatrician is the best person to say what medicine and how much is best to give him to relieve his pain, based on his age, his weight and his injury. Your doctor can also recommend whether the ankle should be wrapped in an Ace bandage, and how much your son can or cannot be on that ankle right now.
Poor little guy. I hope you guys can get in right away and that he'll feel better soon. Will you call right away?
