HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the swelling of your toes does not resolved within couple of days then the toes should be studied with the x-ray, to rule out the possibility of fracture, meanwhile you have to keep your leg in elevated position, for the pain and swelling "Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three times in day Tab Acetaminophen three times in day, hope this information helps you have nice day.
