Hello dear,
Following are the causes of swelling, tenderness and pain in toes:
1. Injury
2. Infection
3. Blister, callus, corns
4. Gout
5. Very rare: Osteoarthritis

In your case most common cause is injury/infection, and may be gout.
So take following medicine first:
1. Tablet naproxen 500 mg BD for Three days
2. Tablet rantac 40 mg BD for three days
3. Tablet zifi 400 mg BD for three days.
4. Take rest

If not resolved
Consult with doctor and do following test:
1. CBC to rule out infection
2. serum Uric acid to rule out gout
3. XRAY of foot to rue out injury

Hope this may help you
Wish you good health
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
