It takes 6-8 weeks or even longer to reduce the swelling of a toe fracture, as follows: First, because the toe belongs to the distal end of the limb, if the fracture is repositioned early to relieve the stimulation and compression of the surrounding blood vessels, and the medullary cavity no longer bleeds, the swelling will be reduced relatively quickly, which takes six weeks. Secondly, if the treatment method is correct, such as applying cold compresses instead of hot compresses at an early stage, the swelling will also be reduced faster. Third, elevating the affected limb is also beneficial to the swelling of the limb. After a toe fracture occurs, some patients continue to stand and walk with the foot in a low position, which causes the swelling to persist and not decrease due to the influence of gravity. Therefore, elevating the affected limb to 30-45 degrees at night with a quilt and pillow is beneficial to the swelling of the limb. Fourthly, taking medication to activate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, reduce swelling and pain, or applying local medication to activate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, reduce swelling and pain, can also make the swelling subside quickly.
