Rest sounds good: I would suggest a nice hot bath with epsom salt. (not hot to burn yourself).

I fell on the stairs and landed on my left knee and foot. Now the side of my foot hurts a lot, if I need to walk on it the pain is like 9/10. It's also very swollen around the lateral malleolus. Does it just need rest or do I need a doctor?
