There is no quick: Bones take time to heal and there really is no way to speed up a fractured toe.

Question 7

what could i do to heal a fractured/broken toe?

Accepted Answer

Splint: The most common treatment for a fractured toe is splint to prevent movement - usually we 'buddy tape' the toe to the one next to it as a splint.  This works since the joints do not line up from toe to toe and so the injured one won't bend.   This assumes the toe is relatively well aligned - swelling should be treated with cold packs/ice packs.

Question 8

what can i do to make my broken toe heal more quickly?

Accepted Answer

Bone healing: Takes roughly 6-8 weeks. That being said, smoking delays healing so if you smoke stop. 
Wear a surgical shoe to prevent bending by the toe joints. Do not wear high heels. Nature has to take its course.

Question 9

how do you know if you have a broken toe and how can you heal it?

Accepted Answer

Get an x-ray: Treatment depends on severity and type of fracture. If displaced or out of alignment, it will have to be realigned. Some form of immobilization will be needed. This can be as simple as splinting to adjacent toe or a cst shoe.
