Suggest Treatment For An Abrasion On The Toe

My husband fell last night and does not remember what happened to him. He woke in the morning with a black and blue small toe. We thought he broke it and then this morning it was greatly red and inflamed so I asked him if he may have been bitten by something. He said that he did remember something sharp on his small toe. I am confused...but he does not have a memory or banging his toe on anything.....just waking up on the floor. Crazy I know.....any advice? Should I be worried?

You should see your doctor and get investigated, with X Rays and blood examination,
