Soft tissue injury of the foot typically resolves within approximately 2–3 weeks, but timely, standardized, and professional medical treatment is essential. Patients presenting with the above symptoms should apply local heat therapy, which helps improve local blood circulation and thereby facilitates recovery. Additionally, under a physician’s guidance, analgesic medications—such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules—may be prescribed to alleviate pain. During active treatment, patients should avoid strenuous physical activity to promote faster recovery.
