Hello,
It could be due to conditions like plantar fasciitis.
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.
In that case, steroid injection to foot might be required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
