You poor thing, feet are really sensitive. As others have mentioned put ice on it for the swelling. You may have fractured it a little but there's not too much that can be done about it.

If it aches take some asprin as an anti-inflammatory and when the swelling goes down take a real look at the toe. If it hurts even after all that, give it a few days then go to a Doctor or your school nurse. You want to be careful and make sure that the toe does not become deformed from this, so pay attention to it and if it hurts for weeks then try and see a Doctor.

Ouch! Put some ice on it!

It doesn't matter if it's broken or not, there is nothing a doctor can do about a broken toe.
Just be careful with it until it feels better.

If its broken you would feel like a bunch of knives were stabbed into it whenever you moved it. Its hard to 'smash' break any bone, so my guess is its just swelling because of the impact.

dont worry.

and what am i suppose to do about it?
why are you not going to get it checked out and instead blogging the experience....one word hun X-RAY!

just to be on the safe side!

good luck with that!

dude, what the hell is your question? what do u want to know. thats more of a comment not a question.

Ice it and call your doc. Keep it elevated.

If you could walk to the computer, chances are it's not broken. If it's swollen then I suggest putting a cold compact. That will help decrease the swelling. If you just recently hit it, it's obviously going to hurt but the pain should go down as time elapses.

Put some ice on it to help stop the swelling.
If things get worse, though, PLEASE, go see a doctor!
What are you on the computer for anyway if you just hit your toe with a hammer? o_O

if you hear a crack it wouldnt be a good thing

my question is, why would you hit it with a hammer?

put some ice on it
toes heal,you wont need a cast

My son had a broken toe recently, all the doc said was to ice it and buddy tape it to his next toe to allow it to heal. No casting here...

Put ice in a plastic bag and apply it to the injury for 15-20 minutes every 1-2 hours for the first 1-2 days.

Make sure to place a towel between the skin and the bag of ice to protect the skin.

Good luck...

I stubbed my pinky toe on my coffee table before. I did hear it crack, mine never got swollen but it was pretty purple by the second day and hurt really bad when I tried to put shoes on.

I never went to the doctors, but I am pretty sure I broke it.

Ouch!! yeah i hit my big toe with a hammer a little while ago, fetl a bit silly really. Well i reckon it will be fine, weather its true or not im no doctor but i heard the little toe gets cracked and chipped all the time when you stub it. I'd keep an eye on it the main prob will be infection.

It will not move if it is broken. The swelling is normal,since you hit it so hard...that had to hurt!! Put ice on it to help the swelling.

Tape the broken toe to the next toe. but not too tightly.Dont bother going the the ER of MD. They dont do anything for it.

ice it!
