Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.

According to your description , pain and swelling over your feet seems to be inflammatory in nature. It could be an acute attack of gout.

I advice you to give you rest to your feet, do icing, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination and rule out any infective cause.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more concern.

Warm Regards.
