Hi,

Pain in heels is caused by plantar fasciitis or inflammation of the plantar fascia.

Use an ice pack to reduce swelling, inflammation, and pain.

Take an over the-counter pain reliever, like Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen.

Rest your feet by staying off of them as much as possible for a few days when your heels are aching.

Exercise your feet.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
