Hello today in football at school i got kicked in the big toe it is pointing inwards is swollen is red is hot is bruised could it be broken and should?

Chances are good.: If the toe has an angular change since the injury, the chances are good that a fracture has occurred. You should have an x-ray taken to rule out the possibility. Apply ice to the area until the toe can be assessed properly.
