Bruised Toe - How to Discuss

Bruised toe

How long DOS it take for a bruised toe to heal? Most broken toes will heal on their own with proper home care. It can take 4 to 6 weeks to fully heal. The pain and swelling will subside within a few days or weeks. If something falls on your toe, it can crush the area under the nail.

What should I do about my bruised toe?

Here are some tips for getting rid of bruised toenails with home remedies and preventative measures: Use a cold compress to relieve pain and swelling in your toes. Trim your toenail evenly (cut it straight, not round). Take over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs such as acetaminophen to reduce swelling and pain. Aspirin is not recommended.
