How To Treat Foot Injury?
Hi. I dropped something heavy on my foot yesterday afternoon and it still hurts. Mild swelling and bruising but I can t walk on my right foot ever since. There is a small bump where I dropped it and a small red dot, if I touch the red dot, unbearable pain sets in. Is it broken/fractured/or?

Hello,
We have to rule out fracture.
Consult an orthopaedician and get an X-ray to look for any thin fracture.
As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
You can also apply ice packs for pain relief and faster recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
