Treat a broken toe!: You should get an x-ray of the toe to make sure it is in good position. A podiatrist can handle that for you. Until then, apply ice to the foot and splint the injured toe to the one next to it.

See a podiatrist: This is a condition that podiatrists care for on a regular basis. X-rays to assess the fracture, and make specific treatment recommendations are needed before putting something on it. While most toe fractures can heal in time, alignment issues or involvement of the joint require more than that.
