While : While most broken toes are treated conservatively with buddy taping, shoe wear protection, or splinting, you should still have xrays to determine the severity of the injury. In rare situations, additional treatment is needed to realign the broken bone, especially if the fracture is into or near the joint surface.

See a doctor: If the toe is in alignment, time and comfort measures will usually get you through it. If there is significant pain, bruising, swelling consider seeing a podiatrists. X-rays will tell you where, and how bad you broke the toe.
