Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I understand your concern.
If the bleeding has subsided, you can apply a dressing and prevent further bleeding on movement.
Bed rest is preferable and you need to take Ibuprofen or Tylenol SOS for pain relief.
I will advise you Chymotrypsin tablets to reduce the inflammation and the swelling in turn. Once the swelling comes down in a day or two, the dressing can be removed.
If the pain worsens or swelling worsens you will need to visit the ER.
Hope this was helpful,
Regards.


Patient replied :

If by chance the toe is crushed, there wouldn't be much help for I would there


If it is crushed toe, there is a likely chance of that too, you need to rule out a fracture.
If there is no fracture, then spontaneous recovery is the norm.
Regards.
