Here are a few suggestions

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back,

According to your history and answers to follow up questions you dont seem to be having any fracture or big damage to the area.. there was a trauma may be you bleed inside and it trickled down causing edema foot.

Here is what you do.

1) Wrap crepe bandage around it.
2) Don't hang the leg keep it elevated ..if you are sittong place foot on higher table...of lying place a pillow under foot.
3) Take rest 3..4 days.
4) Take tablet brufen (ibuprufen) 400mg thrice a day.
5) Icing the area will help too.

Dont panic it will get better in 3..4 days .
