My son fell on his foot. It is swollen and he is complaining of pain. Sprained or broken toe? What should I do?

In a situation where a child has fallen on their foot and it is swollen and painful, it is best to consult a medical professional to determine if there is a fracture. If a fracture is present, immobilization of the foot may be necessary for proper healing. In the meantime, over-the-counter pain relievers like Advil or Tylenol can help reduce swelling and pain, along with applying ice for 10 minutes every hour.
