Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
If there is no swelling on the foot, no tenderness, no pain on walking and you can carry out your daily activities normally, then there is nothing to worry. A laptop is likely to cause a symptoms will subside gradually over a week. In case there is a pain and swelling then consulting your primary physician for an examination is recommended.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.

Wishing you good health.
Regards.
