Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The toe injury if it is only a soft tissue injury may take upto 2-3 weeks to heal and if any bone or tendon injury is involved then may take upto 6 weeks to heal. Avoid weight bearing on the foot and keep it elevated.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
