Detailed Answer:
Hi there

Thanks for the query

Are you having pain and swelling of the big toe?

Have you injured your toe?

Have you done any blood tests?

If you are having swelling of the big toe it could be due to Gout. Avoid non-veg especially red meat, alcohol. Take Ibuprofen 400mg twice a day for 5 days after meals for pain relief.

Do get an xray of the foot abd the involved toe as well.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Aashish Raghu
