A mild ankle sprain takes around 6 weeks fully heal.

Most mild ankle sprains heal with some ice and rest within 6 weeks and rarely need medical treatment or an emergency room visit.

For a more severe sprained ankle it may require an emergency room or doctors visit and medical treatment.

If the ankle sprain is more severe then it can take 2 to 3 months for the sprained ankle to heal.

When I've had a mild ankle sprain it healed with use of some ice and rest within 6 weeks.

You should rest as often as possible and not walk too much on the sprained ankle and take it easy until at least 4 weeks.

Then gradually return to any normal activities that you normally do.
