Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling In The Big Toe After Injury

rest, ibuprofen/naproxen, cold compress, bandage
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If you can, you use medications with an anti inflammatory effect such as ibuprofen or naproxen.
These are over the counter medications and they would help with pain and swelling, can be combined with the tylenol since they are from a different drug family and there is no interaction.
In addition, continued rest, ice compress to the affected area, compression bandage, may be helpful.
The ice compress should be applied for 15 t0 20 mins, 2 to 3 times daily.
A small bandage or strapping can tape the big toe to the adjacent toe to help stabilize it and would significantly reduce pain
You may need an xray if the pain is very intense
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
