Yes, you should definitely consult a medical professional if you are experiencing swelling on top of your foot due to a fall and are having difficulty walking. It is important to get a proper diagnosis to determine if you have a fracture, sprain, or another issue causing the swelling and pain. Applying ice and taking pain relievers like Advil can help in the meantime, but it is best to seek medical advice to properly address the problem.
