See a podiatrist: Depending on what ligament in the foot was injured, and how badly it was injured can have specific consequences. Seeing a podiatrist can diagnose the injury, and provide for specific treatment guidelines. These might include rest, ice, using a splint or brace, and antiinflammatory medications.

Have it evaluated: Treatment depends on the location and severity of the injury. A thorough history and physical exam and radiology exams would be needed. Have it evaluated by a professional to get the appropriate treatment.
