Hello!

Simply resting the foot by avoiding excessive walking and wearing loose shoes or sandals can often relieve the irritating pain of bunions.

I would suggest you to take NSAIDs to relieve pain. I would suggest you to practice some stretching exercises. Cortisone shots can also be tried. A bunion splint, usually worn at night, can provide further relief. Depending on the structure of your foot, custom insoles might add further support and repositioning.

Take care!
