Aspirin, ice, and elevation is the best way to deal with it right after a run. Long term you have to look into getting better shoes with more cushioning, make sure you have plenty of potassium in your diet, and maybe look into a compression sleeve.

When you run, go with a slower pace and a softer foot strike. Two short run with a good recovery in between will be better for you than one long run or trying to run fast until you are healed.
