I was playing football bare foot and someone stepped on my foot wearing studs. It has caused swelling which hasn't reduced in the past 20 hours. How to reduce the swelling?

Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment where a limb or the entire body is immersed in warm water followed by the immediate immersion of the limb or body in ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation. • Point your toes • Raise your heels • Squeeze your toes
