If the inflammation does not ease significantly in three to four days with icing and rest, you could take hot and cold contrast baths for quick relief. Fill two containers with water. One should have water at the temperature of 40 degrees Celsius. The other should be around 20 degrees Celsius. Dipping your feet in these tubs will reduce pain and inflammation. Put your feet in hot water for up to four minutes and transfer them to the cold water for about two minutes. Repeat up to five times each.
