How To Heal Big Toe Injury?

Good morning. My husband hit his big toe las Friday. It is very bruised, swollen and now has a blister that has formed at the base of the nail. It is very tender to touch but not actually painful to move the toe. Can you advise anything to bring the bruiseing out and reduce the swelling a little faster than leaving nature to take its course?

Hi
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through the complaints and understand your concern.
He seems to have injured his soft tissues as well as bones that might be causing the symptoms. Ideally u should get an Xray done and should treat the bone injury if its present.The treatment you are taking is absolutely right,but i guess you are not taking sufficient rest.
But still,it will eventually heal.
Take analgesics,anti-inflammatory tablets,crepe bandage,rest.

Nothing to worry about.
I hope your question has been answered.
If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.
Thanks,Take care,God bless.
