Broken toe HELP.?

Question:

My mom tripped over a dumbell today and broke her toe does anybody know what she has to do to make it better?

Answers:
Tell your mom to soak her toe in some Epsom salt water (make sure the water is as hot as she can stand it) and after she soaks it for a while, get some tape (nursing tape would do best.but any tape will do fine as long as it is really sticky) and fasten the broken toe to the toe next to it (either to the left or to the right if it's not the big toe or pinky toe).if she would go to a hospital they would just wrap her toe as I've just outlined.hope this helps! P.S: Some extra strength tylenol for a few days and lots of rest couldn't hurt either

Other Answers:
Tape a popsicle stick to it and wear shoes. Take motrin for pain. I've broken all my toes at LEAST twice.

perhaps it will be wise to try the hospital for a doctor

She can tape the broken toe to the one beside it. that is all they will do,take Tylenol or Motrin for pain.6 wks to heal

if it is really broke ( dislocation, severe swelling, open fracture, cracking noise while it happened, severe pain..) forget everything about taping and stuff, go to the er now! it might be necessary to get it fixed by a professional ( + x-rayed). she even might need stronger meds that you can only receive by prescription.

good luck
