Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
A swollen toe could be the result of trauma or infection or it could be a symptom of a condition such arthritis.
I suggest to check the rheumatoid factor level for further evaluation
Meanwhile,I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation.
I also suggest using cold compresses for local application.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
