It sees that your son has developed some infection in the foot. He will need broad spectrum antibiotic. Kindly consult a paediatrician for proper dose and investigations.

The swelling may be associated with local inflammation due to cellulitis. Did he had any injury or jerl over that foot . Is he having fever. Is there local rise of temperature as well over the foot
Next Steps
You should start with ice fomentation,  keep the limb elevated over pillow, start antibiotics with analgesics, anti-inflammatory medicines.. Also, get some blood tests done like CBC, ESR, CRP.. I will suggest you to visit  nearby hospital for proper workup and management..
