Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for choosing healthcaremagic for posting your query.

I'm Dr. Sudhir Kumar.

I have gone through your question in detail and understand your concern. It is most likely sprain of foot and stress fracture of metatarsals.
I will like to some additional information
1.Whether you has fever?
2.Whether you have swelling in foot?
3.Whether you have activities like long walk, excessive excercises and dancing?

Treatment of sprain is rest and avoid walking for few days. Analgesic such as ibuprofen are useful for pain relief. Icing is helpful.Vitamin B and C is helpful in recovery. You can discuss with your doctor about it.

Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.

Wishing you a good health
Take care.
