Ice it: Elevate it, you can apply compression or wrap it with a bandage. An antiinflammatory medication can be taken if not contraindicated.

Dropped: The right thing to do is not just supportive care at home as stated , but see your podiatrist for an evaluation and x rays to ensure nothing is broken .
