Suggest Treatment For Swelling In The Toe After A Fall

Hi, I think I broke my toe... this is what happened: I was doing gymnastics (yesterday), and as I got of the bars, I tripped over the chain connecting the bars to the floor, and my middle toe on my right foot hooked and pulled as I fell. Right now my toe is purple and swollen, it hurts to walk on my toe, and it hurts to touch it. I m in pain! Does it sound like I broke my toe?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having soft tissue injury giving rise swelling, purple and tender.
Possibility of having fracture of middle toe can not be rule out.
Go for x-ray foot to rule out fracture.
Apply ice pack for few days.
Take some anti-inflammatory medicine like Ibuprofen for 2-3 days.
Ok and take care.
