How Can Pain In The Big Toe Be Treated?

I tripped on the stairs several months ago and may have fractured my right big toe and the large joint just below it where bunions sometimes occur. The toe itself is fine now but the joint below is fairly large and hurts when I wear certain shoes and/or sometimes just walking in general.
