General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

You are suggested to stay at rest. Do not try to walk unnecessarily. Keep the affected foot on a pillow when on bed and on a stool when you are seated to prevent swelling and pain. You can take Naproxen or Combiflam, one stat after food so that there is no acid formation.

Get clinically examined in the ER or by an orthopedics, get X-ray done to rule out fracture, dislocation, tendon or ligament tear. Your treatment will depend on the pathology detected. But at present, get a crepe bandage done by a health care provider so that the affected part is at rest and pain and soreness reduces. You can get connected to a physical therapist. Do not give weight on the affected leg. Get treated at the earliest. Neglect with result in the worsening of the symptoms.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
