Maybe: You need to see a health care provider. Frostbite is diagnosed based on symptoms and physical exam. You should absolutely avoid a condition where your toes might freeze again as this makes you more susceptible to permanent damage.

Warm them up: If you got frostbite the emergency treatment is rapid rewarming.
