Is my toe broken? Or is it something else?

Yesterday, I stubbed my little toe on something. I couldn't walk for a while, but then I spent a couple hours with it elevated and it didn't feel as bad.
Today, I could walk on it without it hurting too much. Any pressure on a certain spot hurts. I found bruises on both sides of my toe, even though it hurts in the middle. I think it did look a little swollen, but I am not sure, and it's not too swollen, if at all.
Bending it only hurts at certain times.

My question is, do you think I broke my toe? Or did I maybe bruise the bone?
Also, what can I do to help it? Will it heal on its own?

Thank you!

yes it will heal on its own. there isnt much youu can do about a broken toe, but if youu go to a drugstore you can get some athletic tape and tape it to the toe next to it, hope i helped(:

there is not something to be completed with a broken little toe besides, so do not subject. no count number if or not it is broken it desires RICE: relax, Ice, Compression, Elevation. Wrap a sparkling textile over your ft, then fill a plastic bag with overwhelmed ice and bandage it on outstanding. whenever you could, sit down or lie inclusive of your foot propped up so as that the slope is upwards out of your hip on your foot.

I agree take some Arnica if u don't know what it is look it up (great for healing any wounds making them not hurt as much)
