Answer and Explanation:

1. The best recommendation to give Jeremy is that he see a doctor immediately, so that his injury is treated correctly and does not cause major problems.

2. We could tell Jeremy that minor sports injuries are small muscle stretches, which return to normal quickly if the correct procedure is applied.

3. Jeremy can determine if the injury was a sprain or strain by looking at the ankle bone. If the bone is out of place, it means it is a strain, if the bone is in place it is a sprain.

4. If it is confirmed that he has suffered a sprain, he should leave the injured ankle elevated to reduce the swelling. He should also apply ice, for 15 minutes and if possible to move his toes.

5. A treatment will always be useful, but it can present long and not as efficient results, but only a health professional can report correctly.
