I stubbed my toe. The outer corner of the nail is a little blue and there's blood stuck under the nail, although the wound has stopped bleeding. I sprayed Neosporin on the whole area, but my toe is still throbbing. What should I do?

The pain is normal for a stubbed toe. To reduce the pain, apply ice to the area as instructed in the article and take a pain reliever such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Apply Neosporin, bandage the area, and keep your foot elevated and immobile. If your pain is still getting worse after 24 hours, seek medical care.
