I stepped on a small plastic hourglass and it broke, causing significant pain in my left foot, particularly in the arch area. The pain persists even hours later and is deep-seated. Given that I have a history of flat foot and previous injury to this foot, should I get this checked out?

I have been sick since the 20th of March with symptoms including diarrhea, sore throat, cough, and loss of voice. I have no fever but have stomach sounds. My cough is dry and comes and goes. I am currently using lozenges and rikodeine. I am 64 years old with a thyroid condition. I have seen a doctor who prescribed antibiotics, but they did not help. I am now taking panadol, cough mixture, and lozenges. My symptoms have not improved and I feel very sick. What do you think is the name of my illness and is it normal to feel so sick for this long?
