Brief Answer:
Get an x-ray of foot AP and oblique view done.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Beside buddy tape, icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation. Avoid putting weight and rest well.
I suggest you to get an xray of foot AP and oblique view done to see any fracture and its pattern. You can share your x-ray with me or with your doctor.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
