Possible broken pinky toe?

Yesterday I stubbed my toe really bad and today when I woke up realized it was really swollen and discolored and bruised. I currently have it buddy taped, but after reading some other things that people have written on breaking their pinky toes, it is nearly as painful as what others are saying. There's only mild discomfort when I walk and I've been laying in bed with my foot elevated and have been icing it off and on. Is there a way to tell if it's actually broken without going to a doctor? And is there anything else I should be doing for it?

    You should just really go to the doctor. You need a professional to tell you whats really going on with your toe before it gets worst

    Well i recommened trying to see a docter but if thats no an option then put ice on the toe until swelling goes down. You must do this so it wont be hard to do the next step and will reduce pain. Once this is done try your best to curl your toes if you can curl it it may not be broke. But its still best for it could be a hairline fracture
