The symptoms of severe pain and swelling in the toe, could be associated with bacterial infections, or metabolic conditions like gout.
Diagnosis of the cause, includes a physical examination and blood tests, and a Xray to rule out infection of the underlying bones of the foot.
Treatment includes antibiotics and NSAIDs (advil, or tylenol), and foot rest.
You might consult a doctor for a examination and proper treatment of your condition.
I hope this helps.
