Health Tip: Broken Toe Care
By LadyLively on October 15, 2019
Toe bones are typically small and fragile. That’s why these bones can break after dropping something heavy on them or even stubbing a toe, says MedlinePlus. Usually, a broken toe is not a serious injury and can be cared for at home.
To care for a broken toe at home, MedlinePlus suggests:
- Buddy taping. Wrap tape around the injured toe and the one next to it. Place a small wad of cotton between your toes and change the cotton daily.
- Wear stiff-bottomed shoes. Once the swelling has gone down, wear solid, stable shoes.
- Seek prompt medical attention if the injury appears severe or doesn’t respond to treatment.
