At this point it would be impossible to know exactly what is going on without having an x-ray done. The swelling suggests that you had some structural damage. Icing can cause it to hurt more in that case, but it still is good for the swelling.
If it keeps swelling, ice is still your best option. If the pain continues however you may need to stay off it as much as possible so that it can heal. In some cases however, it could be healing incorrectly and that is why it is still painful. This is where the x-ray comes in handy.
