Treat the cause: You needs to see your doctor or a podiatrist to find out the cause of the pain in your foot.It may be inflammation, infection, gout, or traumatic pain.Meanwhile you can take Ibuprofen or aleve (naproxen) for the pain as long as you are not allergic to these drugs or Aspirin and do not have peptic ulcer or another stomach condition which can get worse with these meds see your doctor/poditrist.

Figure out whats : Causing the pain: is their a fracture? Is there a bursitis? Is there a corn? Is there a spur secondary to the toe not being straight? Once you identify the etiology you can pick an appropriate treatment protocol.
