I would elevate my feet and try not to walk around for awhile. If it is severe I would stay off my feet for a couple days!

Keep them up above your heart. Always have them elevated for a few days. Get others to help you so that you can stay off of them. Use hot/cold therapy, wear TED socks for 3-4 days even if the swelling goes down. TED socks are support socks, usually white, that you can get at the drug store. I have tons of them. Ask your doctor for some lasix for those times that you get fluid/swelling in your feet. You'll have to pea alot but it helps. Ibuprofen if you can to bring swelling down. Tylenol doesn't bring swelling down.

I would elevate my feet as much as I could and cut down on salt

In addition to what the other poster said I would also recommend having this evaluated by a dr.
