Answers:
It could be a sprain because if it were broken you would not be walking on it. My suggestion is to follow the acronym RICE Rest-get off your feet Ice- put an ice pack on it as it will help decrease the swelling Compression- wrap it in a tensor bandage (but not too tight) it will provide stability and make it less painful Elevation- raise your foot higher han your heart as it will also decrease swelling. If it hurts for more than two days or becomes more painful and is hard to walk on go and see a doctor as it may be more serious. Good Luck! Health Question & Answer

I once thought my ankle was sprained, I found out it wasn't. Usually when its sprained it is bruised and swelled up, it mgiht be sprained.. It can't be broken because when your foot is broken, you can't walk on it at all.
Have your mother check it out, its probably sprained or just bruised.
