Hello, If swelling and pain in the foot have persisted for more than 24 hours, applying heat therapy may help reduce the swelling. Alternatively, topical circulation-enhancing agents can be used to resolve blood stasis in the foot, alongside oral medications that improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. It is important to rest adequately, minimize standing and walking, and elevate the lower limbs above heart level while sleeping. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
