You have to take following precautions:
use an ice pack to reduce swelling, inflammation, and pain.
Take an over-the-counter pain reliever, like ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
Rest your feet by staying off of them as much as possible for a few days when your heels are aching.
Exercise your feet. Some good foot flexing and stretches can help stretch out the plantar fascia, and make it feel better. Adjust your shoes with inserts that raise the heel and support the arch of your foot.more
