Broken Toe!!?

Someone in the family broke the right big toe about a half hour ago. Please tell me how to treat it. I know that it is broken.Thank you so very much.

Answer:
Go to the ER.
Until then, tape it to the one next to it to keep it immobilized. Take Advil every 4 hours. Don't ice it. Elevate it and do not use it! Watch the person carefully for signs of shock, such as drowsiness, shaking, unresponsiveness, pale, clammy skin or dilated pupils, or anything unusual. Give them a cup of hot tea (not decaf) with at least 2 tbsp of sugar in it. If they are diabetic or have any chronic condition such as heart disease, take them to the ER IMMEDIATELY!
They really should go and see a doctor to get it x-rayed, ASAP.

But in the meantime, you want to elevate the leg, get some ice in a ziplock, some tylenol for the pain. and rest.

Have them stay off that foot, and again get them to a doctor so they can set it correctly if needed.
HMMM thats a hard one GO TO A FLIPPIN DOCTOR!!!!!! DUhhhh
put an ice pack on it(20 minutes) and elevate the foot. Call the docs office.
