Can you have a broken foot with no swelling?

Dt1 nearly 3 twisted his foot on the trampoline,
He cryed for the first 5 minutes, and won't walk
On it, but no bruise or swelling at all he's shattered so have given him neurofen and put him to bed,
It would have swelled if it was broken? Wouldn't it?

I broke a bone in the top of my foot but there was no swelling, I also walked on it for weeks before getting it seen too.

If he can't put any weight on it in the morning go to A&E

Not always swelling and sometimes bruising.

Thanks he's flat out, which hopefully is a good sign.
