∙ 12y agoIt may be a good idea to go see a doctor to confirm diagnosis and see what they suggest for a treatment plan. However, as with any injury, rest is important to the healing process. Crutches may be beneficial for this injury because it will help you avoid putting weight on the problem area. Additionally, applying ice for 15-20 minutes every few hours in the beginning stages of the injury will help reduce swelling. To decrease swelling and pain further, keep your foot elevated.

If it's just randomly swollen, or if it's broken, you should see a doctor before doing the cold compress stuff. Not that if you do it before hand it will cause health issues, but if your toe is broken, or if it's swelling due to a different condition, it does merit medical attention.
