Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Big Toe
Tip of my right big toe is red and swollen. It s very painful if it comes in contact with anything. I can t even wear socks. It s been like this for last one week. I was hoping it would reduce in a day or two but its not. I don t remember stubbing my big toes against any hard object. Please advice.

pleas get a serum uric acid estimation done and have your toe looked at be a medical professional to rule out gout and an infection
either way it is easily treatable so no worries but exact cause need to be ascertained before a prescription can be given
