Hello,

Thanks for writing to us,

I have studied your case with diligence.
It can be due to soft tissue injury or stress fracture to toe .

For these symptoms analgesic and anti-inflammatory can be started.

Till time take medication and apply crepe bandage over foot or use supportive splint. Do ice fomentation and rest to toe.

If pain persists you may need x ray foot to rule out stress fracture, you can consult your doctor and do required investigation.

If you see any signs of infection like raised local temperature, increase in pain then you should consult your doctor immediately.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
