Most of the mild symptoms or through adequate rest or treatment, 2 months will not be swollen. However, if the patient does not pay enough attention to the trauma and goes down to the ground too soon, it may lead to the damaged tissues not getting good recovery, and the symptoms will recur in the later stage, delaying the healing. 2. Serious localized injury If the broken foot is serious, resulting in avulsion fracture, or serious ligament damage, the recovery is relatively slow, and can be clarified through magnetic resonance examination. If it is an avulsion fracture, it is generally recommended to fixate it in plaster for 4~6 weeks, and then gradually carry out functional rehabilitation training at a later stage, and it usually takes about 3 months to recover. If there is ligament damage, rest and braking can be used to promote recovery.

Therefore, if your foot is still swollen after two months, you need to go to the hospital for further examination to clarify the cause of the disease and treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
