<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I stumped my big toe and the toenail hurts really badly...however, it is not bruised...what can I do to relieve the pain? When I touch the top of the toenail, it nearly kills me...I have been putting a band-aid over the toenail, but it still hurts.  <response>: Hello, I passed carefully through your question and would explain that ibuprofen can help improve your situation, coupled with local iodine ointment. Anyway, it is important consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam in order to investigate for the possible causes underlying your complaints: a bacterial infection, a fungal infection or high uric acid levels. Some tests may be needed complete blood count, PCR, ESR. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
