Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The symptoms are suggestive of bruises or contusion. However get an X-ray to rule out fracture. No need to worry as it will resolve in couple of days with conservative measures. You can take analgesics like ibuprofen or Diclofenac for pain. Apply ice packs over the affected region for better healing. Immobilise the affected toe.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
