Hello,

i can understand your concern. Based on the severity of the symptom, fracture of the toe appears to be a possibility.
Kindly get an Xray of the toe or the foot done. Swollen, dscolored , painfull ,stiff toe indicates inflamation. Do warm water compresses over it.
If a fracture is noticed, depending on the fracture, either a simple toe brace or a surgical correction with k wire would be suggested.
For time being, for relief of pain and relief you can take Diclofenac 50mg twice daily.
Hope i have answered your query.
Thanks for choosing HCM. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
