Hello,
It may be due to blunt trauma.
For further assessment, you may require X-ray foot after orthopedician consultation.
For pain, you can take tablet acetaminophen.
Apply diclofenac gel or ointment locally. Heating pads will also help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
