What Causes Broken Toe?

May have a broken toe, next to the big one. Should I have it checked out by my physician, or an xray? Or is this something that requires taping next to my big toe, or middle toe? It just happened about 10 hours ago and I iced it right away. Thank you, Linda

Hi,
Get x ray done and consult orthopedician. Do not neglect it.
Depending on x ray finding taping may be required. Use some pain killer and keep applying ice for cold fomentation.
Hope this may be helpful to you, if so do vote.
