try to keep the toes relatively well positioned - if you tape them up do not do it tightly, as you may restrict the circulation. ice can be helpful in the first few hours but chouldnt really be needed after that paracetamol or co codamol might help with discomfort. elevate feet to reduce swelling

I suspect I broke a little toe surfing last year. I went to the hospital who more or less said we don't x-ray little toes, you've probably broken it, nothing we can do. Six months later my toe is still swollen and gives regular discomfort.
