Why My Toe Is Swollen With Redness In Joint?
My toe next to my big toe is swollen and red at the joint. I just happened....What could be wrong? How do I know if I have been bitten or if it is arthritis or something else? It is not throbbing, it just won t bend down like the rest of my toes and it is somewhat stiff.

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
It could be acute attack of gout or inflammatory swelling.Give rest to the foot, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination and rule out any infective cause.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
