Hi welcome to health care magic....
You are having history of some accidental trauma as well as pain and swelling....
So fracture of small bone of feet should be ruled out...
Local part x ray needed for that....
Compression bandage can be prescribed if needed....
Take ibuprofen for inflammation relief for five days. ...
Avoid strenuous work and take rest
Take care
Consult orthopedic surgeon for examination and further work up
