Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your history, as it gone off in 2 days it may be due excessive walking. i think no need of any investigations needed unless have any injury to that feet. If swelling recures, do x ray and consult with orthopedician. Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Shyam B. Kale
