How long before the swelling of a broken toe subsides?

Six to eight weeks: Most toe fractures heal in four to six weeks but swelling may take longer to resolve.

Apply ice : Whenever you can, i would also put a "wrap" around the toe just be careful not to cut off the circulation while doing this. Sometimes, it can take weeks before this welling goes down.
