Hello,
There is no need to worry as this injury is not a serious one. You are in danger when you have such injury which need you to do bed rest for long time. That causes chances of clot in the legs, and that clot can move to lungs and can cause difficulty, otherwise there is no need to worry.
Just make sure that you apply splint to little toe and take pain killers and antibiotics for this.
thanks
