Hello and welcome to HCM.
If the swelling and bruising is not much you can do the following things:
1) Apply ice packs:putting something cold onthe bruise will reduce swelling and help it heal more quickly.
2) Keep the foot elevated by keeping pillow to reduce blood supply and take rest for early healing.
3) Clean the wound with CALENDULA Q 2-3 times a day, it is a homoeopathic mother tincture for external use, which will help in quick healing.
4) Take ARNICA 200, a homoeopathic medicine to be taken internally , in globules size 40 no. 5-6 globules one dose daily for 2 days.
hope this will help
take care
