Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

A foot sprain is an injury to the ligaments in your foot.
It is caused by a sudden activity that twists or tears a ligament. For example, it might happen if you stumble on an uneven surface, land awkwardly from a jump, or kick an object that doesn't move easily. Symptoms may include pain.
I suggest using painkillers such as Ibuprofen.
I also suggest to maintain the foot immobilized.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
