Suggest remedy for swollen painful toe
Patient: Hello,I woke up yesterday to find my little left toe swollen and it hurts. I have not hit it anywhere and there is no sign of bites. The swelling is to the inside of the toe closer to the other toes.I am a 28 years old female and not diabetic nor a smoker .Thanks Doctor: Hi,Thanks  for  your query.According to your description , pain over your  seems to be inflammatory in nature. It could be an acute attack of gout.I advice you to give you 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
