Answered by Dr. Shinas Hussain (51 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
An X-ray must be taken.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Most probably it will be a contusion only, but we have to rule out fracture also.
As of now do not move the foot and go for an X-ray. Once fracture has bee ruled out, we can manage conservatively.
As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief.
Apply cold compression for faster recovery.
If there is pain, immobilising the foot with a splint will be helpful.
wishing all the best

Brief Answer:
It could be a contusion only.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It will be contusion( it will be an inflammatory reaction after a trauma).
Fracture is unlikely and you can go for an X-ray to rule out fracture in case there is pain,
Icepack and bed rest will be enough in most of the cases.
thanks
