Slipped on stairs and hurt my foot

uiengar
I slipped on the stairs and fell down. I am ok except that the base of my right big toe really hurts. There is some swelling in the area. What do I need to do?

Hi Dear,

Kindly get an X ray done to rule out any fracture.

Apply ice pack.

There might be some soft tissue trauma.
Take some NSAID like ibuprofen for pain.

Regards
