Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The sudden swelling and pain on the foot is likely to be due to an inflammatory cause. Taking a mild pain killer and doing a hot fomentation in the area will help in the symptoms in next few days. Avoid weight bearing on the foot till then.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
