Brief Answer:
Take mild pain killer after meals.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The tenderness under the foot can be due to plantar fasciitis. Rest, hot compress and a mild pain killer will help in reducing the inflammation.
Continue using orthotics. This should subside on its own in next few days. In case the pain persists then do consult an orthopedician for a direct examination.
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.
