Place a pad between the broken toe, and the next one to separate them, but not too much. Then use medical tape to tape the two toes together to stabilize the break. Do not change the dressing, unless it really needs it. Do not get it wet. Keep it on for 3 to 4 weeks. Then check to see how it is. Do not keep the dressing on for weeks and weeks, but if you feel that it needs a bit longer, redress for another week. If you have a broken 'big' toe go to the hospital, but for the others the treatment is as above.
For big toes, the doctor will often tell you to wear an orthopedic flat shoe, and though it looks dorky, it will help your big toe heal properly. You won't realize how much you use it until you can't.
