Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Kindly get an x-ray of foot done to rule out if he has any pathology like arthritis or hairline fracture of the foot. If anything detected, then we can treat him accordingly. If it is arthritis, then anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen drug would be helpful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Archana
