Submerge your foot in warm water & baking soda ( 4 tablespoons in 2 gallons) for 20 minutes then dry your foot, clean the wound with hydrogen peroxide & cover with a band aid. You can take ibuprofen OTC 200 mg x 2-3 tablets with foods, q 6 hours as needed. Repeat the soaking and cleaning again in 8 - 12 hours for 24 hrs. See doctor if the toe gets redness & swollen with more pain after 24 hrs.
