Hi Sweta.
I can udnerstand your problem. I would suggest you keep the injured limb elevated over two pillows. Also you can take pain killer like Tablet Ibuprofen 200mg twice a day over a meal. You can apply crepe bandage if you are having swelling over the foot. It will take 3-5 days to recover. You must avoid putting much weight on the injured limb for atleast 2 weeks.
