A member asked:

Stubbed my baby toe. it is now swollen and very bruised. should i go to a hospital for treatment or can i treat the toe at home?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Your choice: This could be a simple bone or tissue bruise or as much as a broken toe. They seldom do anything more than comfort care for either, although would add the expense of an x-ray if you went to the charges from the hospital & doc. If it interferes with you ability to work/function,go in. If not you could go later if it ever did. You might just put on a cool compress & keep the foot elevated.
