See your doctor and don't listen to any of the idiots on here, including me. Each case is different.

What JR said - make an appt with your PCP.

Treatment needs to be tailored to the specific case. Typical treatments include some combination of exercises, custom orthotics, night splints, physical therapy, etc. depending on the specific nature & severity of the problem. OTC NSAIDs & ice will help with pain & swelling.

Do not ignore it. I know one guy that did & wound up with a compression fracture that sidelined him for a whole season.
