Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain it seems that due to traumatic injury there has been injury to soft tissues leading to inflammation, pain and swelling..
Bruising is due to ruptured blood vessels leading to spilling of blood into soft tissues..
I would suggest you to do cool compresses over the foot..
Take Ibuprofen to relieve pain..
You can also apply Heparin containing gel for faster fading of the bruise..
Elevate your leg while lying down..
You can also apply a numbing gel containing Lignocaine or an analgesic gel containing Diclofenac to relieve pain..


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
