Medicine alone is not sufficient. You need the following:
RICE:
R: Rest the foot. Keep walking to a minimum
I: Ice the foot to reduce swelling
C: Compression bandage with elasto crepe available over the counter at local pharmacy
E: Elevate your leg over two pillows
Next Steps
If swelling and pain persist beyond a week you will need a walking boot. This will rest the foot and allow you to walk at the same time.
