How Long Does A Fractured Baby Toe Take Time To Heal?
Two days ago I broke/fractured my baby toe on my left foot. It is now slightly swollen and black and blue. I ve been icing it every hour for 15 minutes and elevating it. This morning I woke up to blood in my stool and blood on the toilet paper. Are these two things related? What should I do?

Hi and welcome to HCM.
These 2 things are not related and you should evaluate each of the separately. toe pain can be associated with fracture so xray is required. blood in stool can be caused by various cuases but most commonly these are hemorrhoids, fisures or polypsa and less common something more serious but in evry case you should see proctologist for further treatment.
Thanks for the query. Regards
