HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It would be best to rest the foot, this means that you should not put any or very little pressure on it for a few days at least.

Elevation and a compression bandage would also help reduce the swelling and pain.

If you can use anti inflammatory pain medication, this would also be helpful eg ibuprofen or naproxen

I hope this helps
