Hello,
I think there is a possible broken finger. I think he should do an x-ray of the foot.
Remember to put ice on it. Keep the limb elevated and take anti-inflammatory drugs such as advil or acetaminophen for pain and inflammation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
