Hello,
Thank you for asking your question at HealthcareMagic
You can apply ice to the affected feet, to help relieve pain and swelling.
Keep the affected leg elevated
Take adequate test
Take Ibuprofen ( if not allergic ) for pain
Follow up with a primary care physician to get Xray done, to rule out fracture.
Hope I was able to answer your question
Please feel free to address any more concerns
Regards,
Dr.Lekshmi
