Question 1

how can you heal a fractured toe?

Accepted Answer

Tapping: When treating a fracture toe it is important to see a specialist such as a podiatrist to treat this problem.  A fracture toe can be simply treated by tapping the toe to the one next to it.  If you do have a fractured toe i would still recommend seeking medical advice by a podiatrist because if not treated correctly it can lead to problems down the road such as arthritis and deformed toes.

Question 2

This assumes the toe is relatively well aligned - swelling should be treated with cold packs/ice packs.
