Brief Answer:
Apply ice packs only at this time.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about pain. Seen the acute nature, we need to address the pain only and see what the evolution will look like. For now, I recommend that you apply ice packs only to this area. This should control the pain. If this fails, then I will further recommend tylenol. If these fail, then I will suggest that you get the toe examined. Keep me updated so that i can continue to chip in advise and guide you through this.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask of more information and clarifications if need be.
