Hi,
Sudden onset of soreness, swelling in food may be caused by Gout. This needs confirmation by assessment and testing for uric acid level.
So at the moment, you can use some painkiller like Ibuprofen for a few days. But it should be assessed by your doctor to rule out gout.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
