What Do Severe Pain And Swelling On The Toes Indicate?

my second toe started to hurt on Saturday night. i thought it was getting better but this afternoon when I took off my sneaker to ice it I couldn t get the shoe back on. my wife said the toe is much bigger and now the big toe is a bit swollen as well. a year ago i got gout but i had my annual physical last week and the uric acid was at 7.3. i have taken 3 Indomethacin s since last night but i seem worse now.

Hello,

The symptoms semester to be related to an infection of the toe.

I suggest using painkillers for the pain such as Ibuprofen.

I also suggest using cold compresses to relieve the pain.

If the symptoms continue, I suggest taking antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
