Think I have broken my toe, advice for what to do?
my toe has been hurting for a few weeks now whenever I walk or if I move it.
Woke up this morning to find the same pain in said toe and also in two others.
They're all inflamed, red, swollen and painful. So I'm assuming i've broken them?
Does it sound like I have? I don't want to bother the hospital.
And if so, what should I do next?

Firstly you need to know for sure if it is broken..you doctor will send you to do a scan..Based on that you will get treatment, not on what you are assuming.

It sounds like you have, but do you remember an accident where they would have been broken??
If so, all you can do is take Ibuprofen to help the swelling and soak your foot in a warm water/epsom salt mixture 2-3 times a day. And just wait it out.

Don't bother going to the hospital for a broken toe. They can't really do anything for it.
Put ice on it and take Ibprufen. That is what they would tell you to do if you went to the hospital.

go to the doctors. even if you do go to the hospital, it wont be in the place where everyone is in beds and stuff. it will be in a room so dont worry about the hospital being dirty
