Pain in foot
Today, I experienced a minor slip in which I hurt my foot. Now the area over cuboid has swelled with excessive pain.
Please suggest some pain reliever and also suggest is it sprain or fracture?
Attached a picture for reference.
Thanks in advance.

It seems to be Jones fracture.
Get a xray of the affected part-ie foot.
Further treatment will be there after.

Get an X-ray of the affected foot AP and oblique views to rule out fracture.
Sprains and fracture look almost the same immediately after injury.
Next Steps
Take Tab Signoflam twice a day after food for 3 days.
Apply Ice pack over the affected area.
Apply pain relief spray.
Keep the affected leg up over pillows while lying down and over a footstool while sitting.
Do not put weight on the affected foot.
Apply a crepe bandage over the foot and ankle.
Video consult with me with the X-ray films to decide further course of action.
