Can Consultation For Broken Toe Wait Until Tomorrow?

Brief Answer:
can strap over night

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

With a broken toe there is normally no immediate danger. If the pain or any other symptoms are severe then you should be seen as soon as possible but in the majority there are no immediate complications

You should consider strapping it to the adjacent toe overnight. This would reduce any movement that may worsen the fracture if present and would also help reduce any pain due to movement.

You can use tape or strapping in your at home medicine kit.

Use an anti inflammatory pain killer to help reduce any pain or swelling unless there is a particular reason that you cannot use one of these meds eg ibuprofen, naproxen, cataflam

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions

Brief Answer:
due to damage to small vessels, can occur in trauma

Detailed Answer:
HI

Bruising would indicate that there is bleeding in the small vessels under the skin which can occur in trauma.
It is likely that the blood from the injured area is spreading to the surrounding toes since these toes themselves were not injured initially.

This does not necessarily indicate that there is any serious problem.

You can continue to strap the toes and use your pain killer till your visit.

When you see your doctor as mentioned, he or she would take a look and likely suggest an x ray

If anything else unclear, can let me know
