Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain at the bottom of the foot with a swelling could be due to a foreign body like sting or a pin. The other cause could be a local infection or an inflammation of tendons or plantar fascia. This needs a direct examination by a physician to find the cause and start proper treatment. Till then avoid weight bearing on the foot and see if a hot compress helps.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
