Hi,
Stop taking oral contraceptive medicine.
Consult vascular surgeon and get examined.
Go for Color Doppler to rule out Deep vein thrombosis.
If surgery is needed, then go for it.
Applying elastic stokkings on affected foot will give relief from your problem.
Avoid more standing.
Ok and take care.
