Bumped Shin Below The Knee, Ankle And Foot Are Swollen. Knees And Shin Are Tender And Red. Treatment?

Bumped Shin just below the knee several days ago And Ankle and foot are Swollen. Knee area was tender to the touch and then gradually over several days, my shin down to my foot, became a little red and also tender to the touch and my foot began swelling. No dark bruising except the lower inside part of my foot is turning dark as though bruised. What treatment should I be doing?
