Suggest Treatment For Swelling In Foot After An Injury
Hello I was hit on the top of my foot hard with a softball during a game 9 days ago. My foot has continued to swell and I wanted to know how long is too lOng to wait to see my doctor? I initially iced it the first two days and it reduced the swelling. It has now returned?

Hello,
It could be a contusion probably.
Fracture is unlikely.
As of now you can apply ice packs for faster recovery.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
