See regular doctor : No need for hospital or ED, as first step is simple X-ray and then decide next steps with regular doctor

Proper alignment : If you are only three days after injury go straight to x-ray and see a podiatrist or family doctor right away. ED is not necessary. If it’s broken it’s still can be positioned in a proper alignment if needed. If you wait any longer then surgical intervention might be required to align the toe.
