Usually, a smashed toe bruise requires about 5-7 days of recuperation, and the entire nail may take about 1 month to fall off. The bruised toe is usually caused by bleeding from small blood vessels under the skin. 24 hours after the injury, cold compresses can be applied to reduce the bleeding by constricting the small blood vessels. 24 hours later, hot compresses can be applied to promote the absorption of the bruised blood. If the bruising of the toenail is more serious, the pain and swelling is obvious and unbearable, you can go to the hospital for general surgery to remove the nail to relieve the symptoms, in this case the patient’s resting time will be relatively extended to about 1-2 weeks. In conclusion, patients with bruised toes should take rest and avoid excessive activity, and pay attention to elevating the affected limb to promote blood return to avoid aggravation of bruising.
