Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you got foot sprain .You got swelling after 2 days of injury. You are worried about it that how swelling occurred after 2 days. It is quite possible to have swelling after 2days due to keeping the limb in dependent position. You should support foot by crepe bandage or boot cast. Elevation of limb is helpful in reducing the swelling. Active toe movement will be helpful in relieving swelling. Analgesic such as ibuprofen can be taken for pain relief. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
