Suggest Treatment For Pain And Burning Sensation In Foot After An Injury
I dropped a heavy cabinet on my foot. It hurt, but I didn t see any visual damage and I could still walk. The next day it started to bruise, the 2nd day it started to swell, and today the foot hurts much worse. It aches and has a burning sensation to it. I guess I am now starting to wonder if I should get it looked at?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to the injury. I suggest to do an X-ray of the foot to prevent further damage. Meanwhile,I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms. I also suggest to maintain the leg elevated and rest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
