I am pretty sure i broke the 4th toe on my right foot. ive iced it. its not crooked. no discoloration swelling minimal. do i need to see a doc?

Fracture : Probably not necessary to see your doctor. If it is broken the only treatment is to immobilize it by taping it to the next toe. Keep if immobile for 3 to 4 weeks and that should allow it to heal. Good luck
