Hot pack, cold pack or not bother

I dropped a bottle of shampoo on my foot in the shower this morning. Didn’t hurt too much and was going out. Am now going back home and my foot is swollen and bruised. Luckily my boots are a bit loose. It was absolutely fine to walk on but painful - I have paracetamol. Would you put hold or cold pack or neither on it to take down swelling?

Ice and raise it up. Stay there for at least 30 minutes

I'd go with a cold pack..ice and elevation.

I have sad experience with bruising of all kinds. I can trip over fresh air...hope you feel better soon.

Thanks

Done the elevation and it is not hurting, but I’m not in a shoe at the moment.
