Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
According to your description , pain and swelling over your feet seems to be inflammatory in nature. It could be due to acute attack of gout.
I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination of feet and rule out any infective cause.
Hope this helps you.
Wishing you good health...
Regards.
