RICE: Rest, ice, compression, elevate compression isn't the easiest on a toe, but rest, ice and elevate for a couple days are usually all that are needed for a toe. If not better in a couple days or if it's getting worse, see your doctor - i've discovered fractured toes a couple times when they didn't heal as quickly as a sprain should have.

Give it some rest: Tape the sprain toe to the toe next to it, wear lose shoe to minimize the pressure on it, less walking if possible. Good luck. Thank you.

Splinting: Like any other injury it needs to be immobilized use tape to splint the toe to the toe next to it. Use a piece of cotton between the toes when splinting them. Ice for 15 minutes may help to reduce swelling if present.
