The only way to properly tell is to go to a doctor and get x rays. However, you can make a self determination over a period of time. After the swelling goes down, which can take days, if your toe is still in pain it is most likely broken. If it is taking a long time for the swelling to go down then you should consult a doctor. Both sprained and broken toes cause lots of pain.
