Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, I would advise that he should be clinically examined and investigated by an Orthopedic surgeon.
An X - Ray of the concerned foot, both AP and Lateral view will be helpful.

Cold compress in first 48 hours will help in reducing the pain and swelling.
He can take painkiller like Ibuprofen twice daily after meals along with serratipeptidase and Omeprazole 40mg once a day.

He should take proper rest and should not give load on the concerned foot while walking.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
