Hello sandra,
First stop rubbing the toe with alcohol or bandaging it, as it will increase the problem.
Consult an orthopaedician where he might ask for an xray to look if toe is fractured or not.
Actually the toe is supposed to be buddy strapped ,cool application and pain relievers.
It will take 2 more weeks to recover injury as injury is at toe and whole our body weight is stressed over foot and toes.
Dont worry,consult a orthopaedician.
Get well soon.
Thank you
