Brief Answer:
I think shoe change with silicone insole help

Detailed Answer:
Hello, I have studied your case. Pain and swelling at bottom of toe is suggesting that there can be mismatch between shoe and feet. I would suggest you following :

1. Change shoe. Try to take soft and loose one. Also apply silicone insole inside.
2. Hot water fomentation
3.steroid injection at base of toe if their is any pain.
4. Avoid bare foot walking.

I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other follow up questions.
