HI.
Only pain-killers/ anti-inflammatory medicines like Ibuprofen can help him to get through the night.
There is a need of specific diagnosis to be confirmed if you say Athelets foot. You have to consult a Doctor to get the clinical diagnosis , run some blood tests like for diabetes , infection and so on.
And need a prescription based medicines / antibiotics...
Elevate the foot above the heart level in a lying down position.
