Suggest Treatment For Pain Due To Toe Injury

I stubbed my second toe REALLY bad as I was running up my staircase about a week ago. It still hurts really bad and itches like crazy. Never has had a bruise or appeared swollen. Could it still be broken? And if so, what should I do? My whole foot and leg now hurt from me trying go walk in a way that is comfortable.
