Swollen Ankle after twisting/spraining it 1 week ago

I twisted my ankle while walking down some stairs last Friday and it caused me to fall down the stairs.
The first thing we did was put ice on it.
I stayed off of it for 2 days and kept ice on it.
The swelling went down and it got better.
Then 2 days after that, it swelled back up again.
Should I see a Dr. or wait to let nature heal it?

    Since this is of concern to you, I suggest you see a doctor. BTW 2 days is not enough time for an injury to heal. Until you do, I recommend you use crutches and get a decent (not $2.00) lace up ankle support.
