Hello,
Thanks for asking a question at healthcaremagic.
Is an x ray taken or foot/toe?
If not please get one done
If the swelling is increasing, you get a repat x ray done, it can be fracture.
Otherwise, applying heat pad to the swelling, painkiller like Ibuprofen and rest should help
Also elevate your leg.
Hope this helps
Best Regards
Dr Chaithanya
