Dear Lybrateuser, - The swelling could be due to injury to the soft tissues such as ligament, tendons & subcutaneous tissue - give rest to the part, avoid putting weight on the foot, use a walker or crutches till swelling subsides - apply ice pack for 10-15 min 3-4 times a day -take tablet Brufen, 1 tablet three times a day after meals to reduce swelling - elevate the limb while sitting or lying down - apply compression bandage to reduce swelling.
