Detailed Answer:

Hi
Thanks for your query

I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You may be having cellulitis or ankle synovitis. It will be beneficial to elevate the limb on pillow and active toe movements. Icing is likely to be beneficial. You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain and swelling reduction. I wanted to know whether you are having fever ? As your pain is severe so it is advisable to visit a doctor. You can discuss with your doctor about it.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
