Suggest Remedy For The Swelling In Foot After Breaking The Small Finger

I think I broke my pinky toe yesterday, there is some swelling farther toward my forefoot as well, but the pale blue bruise extends over about 1/3 of the top of my foot and seems to be spreading still. I have to work tomorrow in safety toe shoes, and it is difficult to walk. Is a Ace style bandage recommended or is there something else I should be doing?

Hi
I have gone through your considerations

If i were treating you in my clinic i would get an xray of your foot. two angles at right angle to each other to look for obvious fracture.
I would splint it to immobilise it.
I would suggest to rest that part.
I would prescribe analgesics such as aceclofenac 100mg or ibuprofen provided that no allergy to these drugs.
I would also suggest calcium and vitamen d supliment.

In my opinion you should consult orthopaedic surgeon.

Hope you got the answer
Your querries will be appreciated.
Wish you good health
