Hi there.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Thanks for the query.
The itching could be due to allergic reaction from the medicines. Discontinue then immediately.
Keep yourself well hydrated. If you have shortness of breath, kindly visit your GP immediately.
You cab take Tablet Phenergan 10mg once a day. This will control the itching but could cause some drowsiness. Instead you can also take Tablet Loratidine 10mg at night.
Consult your Doctor and request alternative medication for pain. You seem to by Allergic to Aceclofenac. You can try Tablet Paracetamol or Acetaminophen 500mg twice a day.
Regarding the hairline fracture, the toes can be buddy taped of the skin condition is normal.
I hope I have answered your query.

Brief Answer:
Rest, ice, plaster slab or crepe bandage, limb elevation

Hi there.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Thanks for the query.
I have reviewed your Xray film and report. There soars to be a very minute possible avulsion fracture of the 5th toe region.
If you have difficulty and pain on walking I suggest you wear a plaster slab behind the leg and foot and do not bear much weight on that foot for about 6 weeks. Also keep the limb elevated over a pillow. Keep moving your ankles up and down like as though you are pressing and leaving the gas pedal in a car. This will help to drain the swelling which is causing the pain. Also apply ice over the painful region thrice a day.
You can take Tablet Paracip 500 thrice a day if you have pain. Keep well hydrated.
You should be fine in 4 to 6 weeks.
Wishing a speedy recovery.
