I agree with what others have said.  Encourage your son to rest!!!  Pushing on will only make it worse.  The healing process may be slow, depending on how bad he twisted his ankle, but shouldn't be more than a week or so.  In the meantime, it's all about R.I.C.E. - rest, ice (3x/day for 15-20mins), compression (ace bandages do the trick), and elevation (keep the leg up to avoid swelling, generally I do this while icing).
