Get an Xray.: Those toes could be broken, and the big toe is really the most important toe for balance while walking so it's important to know if it's broken and to treat it properly if it is.

Tough breaks.: Ice it immediately. Elevate it as high as possible. You will need to consider having the foot evaluated by a foot specialist. The pain will reduce with the elevation, but stronger pain relief may be necessary. If fractured, a cast boot will help stabilize the damage, but count on this to a nagging injury for some time.
