নিজের যত্ন

  • Rest—Avoid using the injured toe.
  • Ice—Apply ice or a cold pack to your toe for 15 to 20 minutes. Do this 4 times a day for 2 to 3 days or until the pain goes away. Wrap the ice or cold pack in a towel. Do not apply the ice directly to your skin.
  • Compression—If the injured toe is the big toe, wrap a 2-inch elastic compression bandage around it. Put several wraps around the big toe and then include the rest of the forefoot within the bandage. This will limit swelling of your big toe. Other toes cannot be effectively compressed with a bandage. It is important not to cut off blood circulation to your toe or any body part when using such wraps. Do not make them very tight.
  • Elevation—Keep the injured foot raised above the level of your heart for 48 hours. You can use a pillow. This will help drain fluid and reduce swelling.
  • Protection—Wear a shoe with a stiff sole to help protect the injured toe.

The following drugs may help reduce swelling and pain:

Topical pain medicines, such as creams, patches, can also be applied to the skin.

Proper treatment of toe sprains can help prevent long-term complications or problems with the toe joint, such as misalignment and immobility.
