Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Toe
I work retail and am on my feet for at least 8 hours. I dropped a glass top on my second toe about 5 weeks ago which is still swollen. Both of my feet look purple and the toe is extra swollen I m sure because I ve been on my feet. Why would both feet look this color?

Hi,
Since the swelling is present, it is highly necessary to take X-ray of hand to rule out any fractures. In the absence of fractures,soft tissue swelling should be treated with pain killers and crepe bandage if necessary. Hence, kindly visit your physician for an X-ray.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
