What Causes Sudden Swelling And Purple Discoloration Around The Toes?

Hello so yesterday one of my feet started swelling around my toes so I went to urgent care and the doctor gave me an antibiotic so then I had to go work at the racetrack and while I was working my foot started to swell up more and it turned purple. Now it keeps swelling and is still purple. What is going on and what should I do?
