Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I hit my little toe two nights ago on the door facing. It swelled bad and turned purple. Very painful. It is still swollen and painful with a little purple color still in it. Should i have it checked out by a doctor? or is it too late? It is feeling numb at the base and still painful at the tip.
I suggest to go to the doctor and make an X-ray! Maybe your toe is infected and needs antibiotics another reason you should seek medical care is because of pain you have after 2 days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Blerina Pasho, General & Family Physician
