Hi,

It can be an ankle sprain. As a first line management, you can take analgesics like acetaminophen or tramadol for pain relief. Apply ice packs and immobilise the affected foot.

If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.

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

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
