10 Broken Toe Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #8: Infection in the Joint
Sometimes, the broken toe may become infected. This is most common if there is a superficial injury besides the fracture. When a broken toe is infected, the result is more pain and swelling. The infected toe may also feel very warm and red. You will experience these symptoms more intensely than would normally happen.
A pus pocket may also form and if it happens to burst, it will result in pus draining from the injured site. If you fear that your broken toe is infected, you should see a doctor as quickly as possible for treatment and to prevent the infection from worsening.
