Brief Answer:
Need to rule out bony abnormality.X ray will be helpful

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.

I understand your query and concern.

The symptoms in your case could be due to plantar fascitis/localized tendinitis of the foot muscles.

Flu has nothing to do to this kind of pain.

This can be controlled by analgesics like Ibuprofen 600 mg twice a day under medical prescription.

Additionally an xray of the right foot AP and lateral view will help to rule out any bony abnormality.

Thank you.
