What can i do to reduce toe pain quickly?

Depends on the cause: Proper fitting supportive shoes are obviously helpful. Make sure toenails are cut correctly: straight across and not down sides. Ice and /or heat may help. If this problem does not resolve quickly, see a podiatrist. There are numerous possible causes including infection. This would need to be checked out.

Depends on the cause: Your pain could be as a result of many different things. A thorough history and physical exam and possibly some laboratory and radiology exams are needed to determine the exact cause. Causes of pain may include: trauma (fracture, sprain, arthritis), infection, metabolic conditions (gout), musculoskeletal or biomechanical abnormality and neurologic conditions (neuropathy).
