Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling In Toe

I ram my center toe into a piece of plywood. I got a small chunk in it. .I was able to take out the piece of wood. I cleaned it real good. But now my toe is swollen and has some red around it . It really hurts. The pain shoots up my leg. Should I be concerned?
