What to do with an inflamed foot.?

Question

So I tried to make my foot feel better after a long day by dipping it in a bucket of warm water. Turns out the water was way too hot and it kind of burned my foot. Now my foot is reddish in color and swollen. It hurts when I walk on it. What should I do and what kind of medicine should I take? Thanks.

Answer 1

If it hurts, ibuprofen (advil) or acetametophen (tylenol) should help.  Maybe applying an ice pack or some aloe vera gel will help soothe the burn.  Also try to stay off your feet and if you can keep your foot elevated to help the swelling go down
