You need to : See a doctor. Try elevating it as well. If you have gout, then icing will make it worse, hot water soaks may help. Try taking an antiinflammatory like alleve or motrin. If you did not injure it then you may want to try hot water soaks. You may have gout.

Foot pain: Did your foot pain happen after an injury? Were x-rays taken? Did you ice the area immediately afterwards? Seek professional help. Pain means there is something wrong.
