Correct initially: You are addressing the injury correctly. I would add taking NSAID. Anti inflammatory medicine to help pain and swelling. Your main concern is whether you broke any bones? If pain and healing continues to improve you might have got lucky with no fractures. You do not need displacement of toe to have a fracture. You can wait a couple of days. If pain persists I would then consider an X-ray.
