Achilles tendinitis (note the spelling) is usually treated with rest, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, ice (if it occurred in the past 24h) and, eventually, physical therapy.

Is also associated with statin drugs. Check it on on the internet if you are on one.

I've had achilles tendonitis(either spelling is correct) and treated many folks with it.
The key is ice, ice and more ice. Stretching helps, a slight heel lift in your shoe if it is really painful can be helpful short term. Anti-inflammatories if you have no contraindication.
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons has some great info on their site:
