Suggest Remedy For A Sprained Toe

I'm a 27 year old female. I was in yoga on Wednesday night and was flowing- I predicted what the instructor would say instead of actually listening and began floating backward- midway through, I heard her say step and landed awkwardly on the second toe of my right foot and it hurt. It felt like I may have jammed or sprained it, but did not think too much of it and finished my practice. I then got home and went out in heels that night. There was some pain walking, but it was not significant, and the bruising was contained to the toe when i got home. By Thursday morning, it had spread to the top of my foot, and by Thursday night, it had spread to cover about 1/5 of the top of my foot, radiating from the second toe. I've been taking 400 mg Advil every 4 hours and icing for 20 minutes about 3 times a day for the last day and a half. I also buddy taped it when I went out today and wore my Birkenstocks. Should I be concerned enough to get an x-ray?
