Think I broke my little toe!

I stubbed my toe very badly last night and it has swollen a little, not too sure how much it should swell but to about 1 1/2 normal size. It also is sticking out at an angle from the foot, not like the other which is flush witht eh toe next to it. I’m strapping it to the toe next to it but I don’t know how long I should do this or if I should be doing something else? Can anyone help?

    It sounds like your toe might be broken and dislocated. I recommend you see a podiatrist ASAP. It might require numbing the toe and resetting it above and beyond splinting. To see is to know, not to see is to guess.
