Hello, Vishni.
I know it's not of any comfort but you must be patient. Foot injuries are very delicate (there are over 30 bones in it), so they need time to fully heal. A friend of mine broke his foot when we were 13 years old by playing soccer. He was recovering for nearly 2 months, but at the end everything was fine.
Meanwhile, here's what you can do to ease pain - continue with ice packs and prescribed medication.
Try to move as little as you can, you must stay off the injured foot at all costs. Also, keep your foot elevated (put it on the stack of pillows) to prevent swelling.
That's just some general tips. For full recovery, just I said, you'll need some time. Don't forget to check with doctor regularly to avoid any unwanted side-effects.
Just be persistent. Cheers!
