Ice and elevate: RICE therapy: rest, ice, elevation and compression. Also over the counter anti inflammatories such as ibuprofen can help. But I recommend you see a foot specialist for an xray to be sure you didn't break a bone.

Rice.: Rest your foot. For the first 2 days after injury, apply ice for 15 to 20 minutes every few hours. You can wrap your foot & ankle with an ace wrap, ensuring it is not so tight that it decreases your circulation. Elevate your foot above your heart. Can prop on a pillow. Acupuncture can expedite healing. NSAID's help. See doctor if not improving (& for obvious deformity).
