Hello,
Your husband has possibly injured his ligaments of the foot. There may be some boney injury to bones. X-ray must be done. He would possibly need plaster cast along with anti-inflammatory and multivitamin tabs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Nirmal Chander Gupta, Orthopaedic Surgeon
