What are some treatment options for a stubbed toe?

A stubbed toe does not require treatment unless the toe is broken or infected, explains Foot Vitals. Patients can reduce swelling and pain by applying ice to the affected toe and clean any wounds or broken skin on the toe.

People who have stubbed a toe should carefully check the toe for a few days to investigate if bruising or breaks in the skin have healed, suggests Foot Vitals. Patients can use antibacterial cream on broken skin of the stubbed toe to speed up the healing process. People suffering from a stubbed toe should avoid wearing tight-fitting shoes when swelling and pain exists.
