What Should Be Done For The Wacked Baby Toe To The Leg Of The Coffee Table?
Hi, I think I probably broke my baby toe about an hour ago. I wacked it on the leg of a coffee table. I know there s not a lot anyone can do for it but I wondered if I should put ice on it and maybe tape it to my foot to keep it straight. In the morning I ll call my Dr s office. Thank you.

Dear Sir/Mam,
You have probably fractured one of the bones in your little toe. The first thing to be done is to get an xray. Ice packs and analgesics with limb elevation will help in reducing the pain and symptoms. Taping it with the normal forth toe will also help. Hope this has helped you.
