Suggest Treatment For Swelling In The Feet

my foot swells by the end of the day. I tightened my shoe too tight back in may and I ve been trying everything to keep the swelling down. Bur by 8pm, the swelling returns. Dr gave me some PLO Gel, but within 1.5 weeks, I started to get a rash and stopped. I also read that healing could take weeks to months! Is there anything I can do to help the healing process?
