Hi,
Thanks for your query.
From the description , pain over his toe seems to be inflammatory in nature. It could be an acute attack of gout.
I advice him to give rest to the part affected, 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
