Thanks for posting your query.
You had injury over your foot and after that swelling present and it is tender to touch.
It might be a soft tissue injury or a fracture.
You need a x-ray to rule out any fracture.
You need immobilization of foot. if this is due to soft tissue injury it takes a week & if due to fracture it takes 3 weeks time to heal.
So you have to visit an orthopaedic surgeon for exam & treatment plan acc. to that.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.

hello
thanks for choosing healthcare magic
there could be 2 possibilities in your case
it could be a simple sprain or it could be a fracture ( since you heard a cracking noise)
you can take a over the counter pain killer , tab. paracetamol three times a day with a moov spray should suffice
In case the pain persists there is high possibility of a fracture , get a X ray done .
you will need immobilisation of the joint and further management in case of fracture.
