It seems a severe injury. First and foremost thing you do is give rest to your foot by strapping and keep it raised. Analgesic antiinflammatories are to be taken.cold compression to be given. It will take little time to heal as it seems to be tortured. If takes more than a week or ten days go for MRI for appropriate diagnosis. Take care.
