See below: Apply ice to reduce swelling and take Aleve (naproxen) to reduce pain. If continues see a podiatrist to find out why it is hurting.

The question is : Why does it hurt? Are your sneakers proper size? Does the toenail turn colors or is it thick? Do you have a spur (exostosis) under the nail? Where on the toe do you have pain? You can't prevent something without knowing its cause, or at least that makes it easier if you do.
