Elevate the foot and put a compress on it ("Ace" bandage or the like). Use ice if you can. Once the swelling has gone down or is going down wrap the foot and stay off of it for 24 hours for the vessel to heal. If it is a large vessel and there is a disfiguring amount of swelling, call your physician or go to an emergency room. If you have varicosity, call your physician immediately or go to a emergency department.

What should you do if a shampoo bottle hits your foot?
If the top or side of the foot hurts, swells, or bruises, you can apply ice for 10-15 minutes several times a day. Note that the top of the foot can easily bruise because there are many blood vessels on top of the small bones. A badly bruised foot does not necessarily mean the foot is broken. Make sure you elevate the foot so the swelling will come down. If you cannot step without pain, or cannot flex (as in walking, putting the toes down while lifting the heel), you might have broken a small bone. Note, however, that E.R.'s do not normally cast a foot that has a broken small bone on top. They will cast a serious break.
